Christian Playwriting & Self Publishing: How to Write Quality Christian Plays, and What to Do with Your Finished Work. Cleveland O Mcleish

Publisher Marketing: Theater is the oldest form of dramatic storytelling, and many still consider it the most electrifying. Nothing beats the intensity of actors sharing the same air as the audience. The laughs and gasps and tears happen live...and on the spot...but Great Plays are Written before they are performed and somebody has to write them. Why not you? A play will not soar in performance unless it's great on the page. This Book will teach you how to tell a story that is theatrical and produce-able from a Christian perspective, as well as such playwriting craft elements as structure, plot, dialogue, setting, theme, scene development, and format. You will also learn where you can market your work and the steps involved in self publishing. Whether you seek to write skits, one-acts or full-lengths, traditional or experimental, this is where you will learn to do it, as I will show you how to write plays that will bless audiences and keep them asking and coming back for more. With the knowledge you gain from this Book you will fully understand the techniques involved in taking a play from merely a concept to a finished draft. This Book will give you a firm grounding in all the basics of Christian playwriting. Everything is presented in a clear, straightforward manner with one guarantee... If I can't teach you to write a good Christian play then maybe this is not the call you have on your life. Contributor Bio:  McLeish, Cleveland O Cleveland O. McLeish is a published author.
