About the Book
On Screenwriting is a practical exploration of cinematic storytelling, drawing on a lifetime of military service, filmmaking, and screenwriting to examine the principles that make stories resonate on the screen. Rather than offering rigid formulas, Steven B. Newman presents screenwriting as the architecture of emotion, where structure, character, and visual storytelling work together to create authentic cinematic experiences.
Written for aspiring writers, filmmakers, and storytellers alike, On Screenwriting combines practical guidance with philosophical insight, encouraging readers to move beyond simply following rules and toward understanding why great stories endure.
