Book/s to start (already reading scripts)
I don't know nothing about story/screenplay structure, and I really want to learn about it in a general way during 2025, as a person that wants to write scripts and as a movie/TV lover.
Here's the list I made. If you read some of this books, give your opinion in where to start, another reccomendations, or anything else that you feel it can help me. Thanks in advance!
