I've been a lifelong horror fan, but at the same time, I would say 90 percent of my reading is biographies and nonfiction history.

From Seth Grahame-Smith

I've always enjoyed reading history, particularly presidential biographies.

From Seth Grahame-Smith

If a novelist has created vivid characters, interesting relationships, settings the reader can easily imagine, and intriguing stories, a screenwriter has loads to work with. The challenge comes with deciding what to cut and what to keep.

From Seth Grahame-Smith

Some novels present a story form many points of view. Most movies tell only one person's side of the story. Sometime it's easy to use the strongest point of view, or find the character with the most dramatic experience. It depends on which themes the scriptwriter wants to explore.

From Seth Grahame-Smith

If a movie has more characters than an audience can keep track of, the audience will get confused and lose interest in the story.

From Seth Grahame-Smith

Movie characters rarely get to think out loud or talk very much about their emotions. Instead they have to, very briefly, show their feelings through their action or through dialog.
