Joshua L. Ritter and Joe Salwen have spent years on the other side of the desk: reading thousands of scripts, working with writers at every stage, and deciding which stories get made. Now they are sharing what they found in *How to Write a Screenplay*, a Levenger Master Class workbook that takes aspiring and experienced writers from first idea to a complete feature-film blueprint.

What separates this workbook from other guides on the topic is precisely that angle. Joshua and Joe are not writing instructors; they are practitioners who have sat with thousands of scripts and learned to read them fast. The workbook translates that reading into twelve tabbed sections of professional advice, creative exercises, and practical tools.

The format is interactive by design. Each section asks writers to begin creating rather than simply reading, and the exercises are built around the specific friction points Joshua and Joe observed across years of script development.
