When I look over the landscape of MWP books I get very excited.
Here, in one place, is everything you could ever want about writing
and making lms. Surprisingly, its only relatively recently that you
could get your hands on such valuable information, which years
ago would have been considered trade secrets. When writers
come to us with ideas or when we go to writers with an idea we
always say, This book isnt about you. Its about the reader. And
by that we mean the book must serve the reader, it must empower
the writer or emerging lmmaker and deliver a new skill set. Im
proud to say that our books do just that: they make better writers and better lm-makers, who in turn make more powerful lms.Empowering you to do your best:
thats what were all about.

Creating a memorable emale character with huge audience ap-peal is not just a matter o choosing a heroine over a hero. Bycreating a heroine, the screenwriter has to consider all kinds odierences, rom character development to gender issues in the
development process. Venturing where other screenwriting guidesear to tread, The Woman in the Storyprovides screenwriters andstorytellers with a groundbreaking creative paradigm or the cre-ation o memorable emale characters. Written by a proessionalscreenwriter or screenwriters, this is a long-overdue how towith a dierence, casting a rereshingly honest and empoweringwoman-centric light on every stage o the writing process.
Inspired by emale psychology and gender issues, The Woman in the Story guides the screenwriter
through a highly creative conceptual process o development. ach o the ten chapters presents newprinciples that are designed to stimulate and encourage risk taking and prevent stereotyping in emalecharacteriation. Plenty o flm examples and unique exercises equip the screenwriter with all the skillsnecessary to develop their own memorable emale character rom start to fnish.
As a flm producer whose lie is spent submerged in scripts, living and breathing the evolution o acharacter, it is wonderul that a screenwriting guide to the emale character has been written with
such intelligence, sensitivity, and insight by a hands-on experienced emale writer.

RICHARD D. PPPRMAN
reat flms etch themselves on our brains. But its not the wholeflm we remember it is a selective scene here and there that hasthe power to stay with us or a lietime. Beginning and establishedflmmakers would do well to remember this important and power-
ul inuence o flm and to study great moments that we will alwaysremember so that they too can pause, reect, and remember tocreate moments o illumination in their own works.
Illuminations: Memorable Movie Moments incorporates contem-poraneous reviews and archival appraisals o more than 50flms over nine decades. The book investigates the clashingjudgments, the irresistible attractions, and the lielong impact omovies, their exacting moments, and individual and collective cinematic remembrances. Humor-
ous, nostalgic, melancholy, and historic reminiscences echo the creativeness o movie-makingupon the imagination, and the accumulated storehouse o memory.
Illuminations makes me wax nostalgic or those movie moments that aected my lie and choiceo career. To this day, when I watch these flms, I am transported back to a simpler time, and I
remember exactly where I was and how I elt while experiencing one o my avorite pastimes.
Pepperman recalls those exquisite movie moments down to their infnite details, illuminating the
power o flm and why we love movies so much.
