A craft guide to writing for animated screen stories

Writing for Animation treats animation writing as a distinct screen craft, covering storytelling for feature films, television series, and short films. It begins with the question of why a story should be animated, then moves through foundational and more advanced principles intended to support script development. The scope also places writing in relation to the wider production process, making room for the perspectives of directors, storyboard artists, and animators as well as writers. With examples of animation spanning family-oriented and adult television and film, the book frames its subject across a range of formats and audiences.
