Screenwriter's Compass

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I am grateful to the many students who have passed through my seminars at Columbia University and Barnard College. They helped me learn what you are about to read. Thank you to Katharine Cluverius—agent, editor, and friend—for consistent and needed support. To Jerry Boak and Robert Brink for astute readings. To Nicholas Proferes for introducing me to Focal Press. To Annette Insdorf, whose kind graces were instrumental to my career, both as screenwriter and teacher. And to my beloved wife and in-house editor, Jeannine Dominy.
