Foreword to the Fifth Edition

History of the 5th edition

Over the past year, no major features have been added to Screenwright. Rather, the product has been updated by adding examples from and analyses of more recent movies. I've also incorporated a few ideas from other screenwriting books that have been published over the past year.

In the next year, I hope to complete an expanded CD-ROM version of this ebook/course that will include such audio features as my popular "Real Audio Screenwriting Tips," as well as audio introductions to and commentary along all of the modules.

I also expect to add new material to the marketing sections, based on some recent developments in my own screenwriting career.

Version Six, then, promises to incorporate several new additions.

In the meantime, happy screenwriting!
