Writer's Handbook Guide to Writing for Stage and S by Barry Turner

There are increasing opportunities for new writers of plays, be it for stage, screen or radio - but also increasing demands. This highly practical and informative guide looks at constructing a play for each market, drawing on the expertise of leading figures in their field - including James Roose-Evans on holding an audience in modern theatre, Hugh Whitemore on TV and radio plays, Carl Miller on developing new writers and Bob Ritchie on getting into writing teams for long-running TV series such as Eastenders. There are also features on how the main TV companies commission, and how to deal with agents, producers and contracts. Plus a comprehensive listings and information section.

Barry Turner has worked on both sides of publishing, as a journalist and author, editor and marketing director. He started his career as a teacher before joining The Observer and then moving on to radio and television. His first book, a study of British politics in the early twentieth century, was published in 1970. He has written over twenty books, including A Place in the Country, which inspired a television series, as well as a bestselling biography of actor Richard Burton. He has been editor of The Writer's Handbook for over twenty years. He lives in north London.
