Hi , I'm Linda Aronson

I've won awards as a scriptwriter, playwright and novelist during decades in the scriptwriting industry, and since the international success of my books 'Screenwriting Updated' and 'The 21st Century Screenplay', which were the first to provide practical help on creating nonlinear and flashback scriptwriting, I'm widely regarded as the leading expert on how to construct nonlinear multiplot and flashback scripts for both film and TV. As well as writing, I train experienced as well as new writers all over the world in both conventional scriptwriting and in the fantastically exciting (but difficult!) parallel narrative structural models that I've isolated and explained. My newsletters specialize in practical, down to earth scriptwriting advice from the basics to the advanced. Check out the resources I offer below and sign up for my newsletter. I'd love to help you on your journey in this crazy but wonderful industry of ours.
