Hollywood's script guru teaches you how to write a screenplay in "the 'bible' of screenwriting" (The New York Times)--now celebrating forty years of screenwriting success

Syd Field's books on the essential structure of emotionally satisfying screenplays have ignited lucrative careers in film and television since 1979. In this revised edition of his premiere guide, the underpinnings of successful onscreen narratives are revealed in clear and encouraging language that will remain wise and practical as long as audiences watch stories unfold visually--from hand-held devices to IMAX to virtual reality . . . and whatever comes next.

As the first person to articulate common structural elements unique to successful movies, celebrated producer, lecturer, teacher and bestselling author Syd Field has gifted us a classic text. From concept to character, from opening scene to finished script, here are fundamental guidelines to help all screenwriters--novices and Oscar-winners--hone their craft and sell their work.

In Screenplay, Syd Field can help you discover:
- Why the first ten pages of every script are crucial to keeping professional readers' interest
- How to visually "grab" these influential readers from page one, word one
- Why structure and character are the basic components of all narrative screenplays
- How to adapt a novel, a play, or an article into a saleable script
- Tips on protecting your work--three ways to establish legal ownership of screenplays
- Vital insights on writing authentic dialogue, crafting memorable characters, building strong yet flexible storylines (form, not formula), overcoming writer's block, and much more

Syd Field is revered as the original master of screenplay story structure, and this guide continues to be the industry's gold standard for learning the foundations of screenwriting.

No tying necessary
Size: 1 Little Kid, Color: Fuchsia, Size: 1 Little Kid, Color: Fuchsia
I ordered a kids size 1 for my child, and so far, I’ve been really happy with these shoes. Here’s what I like: ✅ Stylish design and comfortable fit. My daughter loves wearing these. ✅ They don’t show scuffs or scratches easily. ✅ The color is what I expected from the item pictures and it’s really cute. ✅ The Velcro straps make these easy to get off and put on. ✅ There’s a piece of Velcro on the tongue to help keep it in place. Really smart. ✅ The seams have not pulled apart and overall, these seem to be really well made. They have offered good support for my child’s feet, and a shoe that my child can put on by themselves is a win for me!

Durable girls sneakers
Size: 1 Little Kid, Color: Fuchsia, Size: 1 Little Kid, Color: Fuchsia
These Saucony girls sneakers in fuchsia are great. The design and coloring are fun and vibrant and the cushioning on the insole is good with just enough bounce. The material and construction seem durable. The Velcro strap secures in two places so you get a snug fit without the shoe “tongue” moving around. The sizing seems true to size. Overall these are a very solid, comfortable and functional pair of sneakers. $47, the current price, is about the price for similar products these days.

Great shoes but seem to run bigger than other styles of Saucony
Size: 4 Wide Big Kid, Color: Navy/Pink
We pretty much stick with one or two brands. I have a kiddo with wide feet, who recently wore out her size 3 wides (big kid) in another pair of Saucony shoes, but she was also right at the end of the shoe, so I went with a whole size up. She picked these. The size 4's are enormous, so we had to pick another style in a 3.5w, as these didn't have 1/2 sizes and will hold on to these for fall. I picked up another brand in 4W that actually fit really well now, but they are not as heavy duty as these. I'm hoping the next style in a 3.5 isn't too small. Love these shoes, but the sizing on them feels less and less predictable. Compared to most shoes I have always had to size down in these, but now even between styles in their brand.n

Great shoes
Size: 1 Little Kid, Color: Fuchsia, Size: 1 Little Kid, Color: Fuchsia
This is a review for Saucony unisex child cohesion FST (little kid/big) size 1. These shoes are good quality and all the stitching is on point. They fit true to size for my daughter and the Velcro snaps are convenient for a little ones. I like the color of these ones as it looks cute. They have been comfortable wear and we’ve been out for hours while wearing them. I think they’re fairly easy to keep clean. I just wipe them down with a damp cloth and they come clean easily. I think these are a fair value as well and if you’re looking for a basic pair of shoes for your little one, I would recommend them.
