Screenwriting Links

I've been meaning to post some of these links for a while now. There’s some interesting stuff about screenwriting at Alligators in a Helicopter.

Danny Stack has a lot of good and informative stuff on writing for television in Britain. And this guy is one of the writers on Green Wing.

This is perhaps the best of the links on offer. There are lots of interesting writing links at the excellent Writers Guild Blog. This includes interviews and competitions.

And from it here’s a link of note. Rob Long’s podcast. (Though that link may only work if you are using Firefox.) Rob Long was, along with his writing partner Dan Staley a writer on Cheers. He wrote a book about his screenwriting experiences called Conversations With My Agent. I saw it turned into a play at the Edinburgh Festival several years ago.

Some of you may remember this site, Query Letters I Love. I think we were all on this before the days of Talking Pish. A producer takes the most amusing query letters and screenplay pitches and posts them. There's always some gold in there.

Logline: A street racer uncovers a broken artifact while working in a museum warehouse, which releases a banished ninja spirit into his body. They must learn to work together in order to prevent a ninja sorcerer from unleashing an ancient demon plague upon humanity.

Things They Won't Tell You at Film School does what it says on the label and provides some interesting insight into the world of trying to get a movei off the ground.

Finally, for now on screenwriting, here is Complications Ensue. I may put some more writing links on in the next day or two.
