This review is from: How Scripts are Made (Hardcover)

I also was a student of Ms Karetnikova at Emerson College in Boston, and not only did I learned from her how to appreciate and create a commercial script but also how to make it a piece of good work. Ms Karetnikova has the gift of knowledge that will inspire any writer to build good scripts with the basic premise of good idea. This book is a typical example of what Inga can teach you. --This text refers to the Paperback edition

This review is from: How Scripts are Made (Paperback)

I learned under Ms. Karetnikova at Emerson College in Boston, and she is a very talented teacher. She knows how to take the raw material of a writer and encourage it to blossom into a script worthy of selling. Inga knows that her students are wanting to write scripts that will sell, and she teaches others in this book how to truly look at a script so they will know how to produce one themselves.
