"As a screenwriting teacher at New York University I recommend a broad spectrum of textbooks to my students. I tend to the view that most of these books offer something of value and each of them is essentially as good as the person who reads them. In the case of Linda Aronson’s work I make an exception. The 21st-Century Screenplay addresses areas not covered by others. The book provides the services of a personal script editor, dramaturg or even co-writer. It functions as a manual as well as a road map"
