Editor's Notes
- Playwright vs. Playwrite?
- a person who judges the merits of literary, artistic, or musical works, especially one who does so professionally. How do you think the role of the critic has been altered by the internet?
- A person or corporation who engages in the occupation of procuring, offering, promising, or attempting to procure employment for actors/writers/directors (talent); who works with casting directors, producers, and directors in the occupation of submitting and negotiating talent for their specific projects
- Impossible to really predict what will connect What do you love that you are embarrassed to admit? (TWILIGHT, Shania Twain)
- A treatment is a summary of a screenplay, novel, play, etc sometimes in the form of an outline. It can be anything from one to ten pages (or even longer). Treatments can be used as a tool of development for the writer’s or used as a marketing tool
