Dramatic writing is storytelling at its most elemental. Writers learn the crafts of playwriting and screenwriting and create scripts for live performance, film, television, animation and more. Before the rise of the first curtain, before the first fade-in, a dramatic writer develops the characters, actions and dialogue that make stories worth watching.
