If you are writing to please anyone but yourself, the play will lack meaning and depth. Garrison also wants the writer to know that there are ways to promote one's self with charm and grace and he tries to encourage people to use good taste when doing so.
Part Two of Garrison's book discusses some of the more business aspects of being a playwright. He talks about staged readings, getting an agent, as well the fundamentals of dramatic structure. Other aspects covered in Part Two are submitting one's plays to festivals, agents, writing a resume, and writing a synopsis of the play.
Part Three of the book includes some words on etiquette and the importance in one's career. There is also a letter that is written to people close to the writer asking for their support in their career.
The book as a whole is a sort of Bible for aspiring...
It serves two major functions: it teaches one how to keep that passion for writing as well as how to maneuver one's self in the business world of being a playwright.

This book isn't telling you how to write a play (even though it does give quite a bit of advice about what goes into the writing process and where to go to get material), but it's telling you how you can balance the life of being a playwright with the business of being a playwright.
The book is fun read as Garrison fills the book with hilarious insight into his own experiences as a writer. The book isn't your typical instructional book; in fact, it reads more like a great story.
In "Piaf," Pam Gems provides a view into the life of the great French singer and arguably the greatest singer of her generation -- Edith Piaf. (Fildier and Primack, 1981), the slices that the playwright provides, more than adequately trace her life. Edith was born a waif on the streets of Paris (literally under a lamp-post). Abandoned by her parents -- a drunken street singer for a mother and a
The fact that a novel in the sentimental and seduction genre attained such heights of popularity is, in the first instance, evidence its impact and effect on the psyche and minds of the female readers of the novel. As one critic cogently notes: Why a book which barely climbs above the lower limits of literacy, and which handles, without psychological acuteness or dramatic power, a handful of stereotyped characters in
Personality Theories in Psychology To the layperson, the term personality is a generic descriptor for an individual's traits. However, personality has a more specific meaning to psychologists. According to Dan McAdams, "Personality psychology is the scientific study of the whole person" (McAdams, 2006, p.12, para.1). While different psychologists and their theories have become well-known enough to be referenced in casual conversation, there is still some confusion among laypeople about personality
Sampson proclaims, "A dog of the house of Montague moves me," declaring any person from the Montague family has the power to make him angry (I.i.7). The conflict between the two houses is reason why Romeo and Juliet are met with such obstacles to be together, and contributes to their need to take extreme measures, i.e. fake their death and ultimately commit suicide, to escape them. Romeo and Juliet
A hut on top of the 'Tiring House' was there for apparatus and machines. Flag above the hut was there to indicate concert day. Musicians' veranda was beneath the hut at the third level and spectators would have to sit on 2nd level.
