Dialogue. The Art of Words for Writers, Screenwriters, and Playwrights

In the book, Robert McKee – an American screenwriter and one of the most renowned teachers of screenwriting in the world, author of "Story: Substance, Structure, Style and the Principles of Screenwriting" – reveals the secrets of creating dramatic dialogue, based on its function, content, form, and the techniques of speech of the characters. This is a textbook-research that examines both the most effective techniques of "dialogue writing" and the pitfalls lurking for the author in the process, including clichés, verbosity, and implausibility.
