9. Screenwriting Updated: New and Conventional ways of Writing for th Screen - by Linda Aronson (For Advanced Level)
10. Advanced Screenwriting : Raising Your Script to the Academy Award Level - by Dr. Linda Segar (for Advanced Level).
Forget FORMATTING Aspect, I am not interested (due to software availibility and saving energy to concentrate in screenplay writing).
Basically, I am looking out for CRAFT OF SCREENWRITING, HOW TO DEVELOP YOUR STORY IDEAS (step-by-step to script), HELP / GUIDE IN MENTAL BLOCK, 3D CHARACTERIZATION, PLOT DEVELOPMENT, SUBPLOTS AND STRUCTURE CHOICES etc...
You can suggest any number of books from above list to fulfill my objectives.
