Many screenwriting books emphasize structure and plot to the detriment of character and, perhaps partly because of this, a frequent flaw of the modern screenplay is the over-reliance on plot as the GPS of the composition journey. In Screenwriter's Compass, Guy Gallo shows aspiring and professional screenwriters how to move away from the turn-by-turn directions of the outline and navigate more intuitively. Screenwriters will see that narrative grows out of behavior and will stop pushing and pummeling their characters to fit the outline. With Gallo's guidance, screenwriters will learn how to root their funniest prose and catchiest dialogue in character and voice to make their worlds real.
