BPS 008: How to Make a Good Script Great with Linda Seger

How to Make a Good Script Great with Linda Seger
Linda Seger is a legend when it comes to screenwriting coaching and
script consultant. She's been coaching for over 30
years and pretty much invented the job title. After
reading her best-selling book, "Making A Good Script
Great" I had to have her on the show.
She's  best known for her method of analyzing movie
scripts, which she originally developed as her graduate
school dissertation on "What Makes a Great
Script." She founded the script consulting industry, becoming
the first entrepreneur who saw script consulting as a business,
rather than an offshoot of seminars or books.
Linda Seger has consulted on over 2000 screenplays and
over 100 produced films and television shows
including Universal Soldier, The Neverending Story
II, Luther, The Bridge (miniseries,) etc.

“When I arrived I had an idea. Three days later the idea had become
a complete and rich outline. Linda’s warmth, guidance and insight
helped me structure my story and discover the layers that made it
come alive.”  Sergio Umansky

Her clients include Oscar winning writer and director
Peter Jackson, Sony Pictures, and Ray Bradbury. Unlike
other screenwriting gurus, Linda Seger is not
a screenwriter but has focused exclusively on consulting
and teaching.
Linda Seger has written 13 books, 9 of them on
screenwriting, including the best-selling Making a Good Script
Great, Creating Unforgettable Characters, and Writing
Subtext. (FREE AUDIO BOOK VERSIONS HERE)

Ron Howard has endorsed Making a Good Script
Great, saying he uses the book when making all of
his movies beginning with Apollo 13. 

Not a bad recommendation. Take a listen to this master
class on screenwriting with Linda Seger and get ready to take
notes!
