T3 On Writing
Stephen King · 1999
Open LibraryGoodreads

King's memoir of craft applies as directly to screenwriting as to fiction. His argument that story comes before plot — that you discover what a story is about by following characters rather than outlining — sits in productive tension with the structural approaches of McKee and Snyder.
