About the Author

Merlin Goldman has published three books: Play Better Scrabble, Pieces, and The Carpenter and the Goat Herder. My latest book Want Do Get, on creative writing, is the first non-fiction work he's authored. It's based on several years of attending workshops and training courses in screenwriting and by studying many films. He's won places on schemes with the NFTS, Screenology, and was funded by ScreenSkills to attend Talent Campus 5, run by the London Screenwriters Festival. He' been shortlisted for the Pears Film Fund (twice) and Script to Screen and made half a dozen films either as writer, director, or producer. Several have won awards.
