His work on genre, theme, style, tone, idea evaluation and character development really influenced how we think about writing and pitching and we highly recommend it to all screenwriters.Phil was so generous with his time and talking to us about the horror genre specifically and we really can't thank him enough for his work and insights.You can pick up a copy of Phil's book The Art and Science of Screenwriting using the link below - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Art-Science-Screenwriting-Phillip-Parker/dp/1841509655/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2XQTBB4AIZRBW&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.4Y64VzXokmQt-2ittaxUJZOpYQQFINVcEKGU2dnZamcDslHN4ytOiKyAPhGZ7wOS1ROxxWXVcKdag94CEFfTwQhaBOzAOrt3HPLJihv5ZUrzPhePJrVhasPnZ7Hn5GYo3T3hgl1YZOmLlKN21EejcB8jB51tnAO1-Fk5wVNVw5FZK6R2u96JT2YeYtmYnIusJlNXAyDbTNbkQl1tjl7Mys1kDpv7h6v1Q1WkYibTPL8.Gd0vkt6yR9rdSG_L8k6U0UkOhge_rjcnvLQJddpo84s&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+art+and+science+of+screenwriting&qid=1776628891&sprefix=the+art+and+science+of+screenw%2Caps%2C269&sr=8-1For further reading you can take a look at an interview with Phil regarding development.
