Book Presentation:
Ethics in Screenwriting: New Perspectives is a book that breaks new ground by forging a link between screenwriting research and a burgeoning interest in film, media, and narrative ethics. Going beyond the orthodox discussion of morality of film and television, the collection focuses on ethics in screenwriting. Building on a new wave of screenwriting research, as well as a ‘turn to ethics’ in humanities and media studies scholarship, this title forms a bridge between these areas in a unique analysis of a key area of media practice. Each essay goes beyond the general discussion of ethics and media to engage with specific aspects of screenwriting or scripting. Written for readers interested in questions of ethics as well as screenwriting, the collection offers new perspectives on ethical questions associated with Writers and their Production Environment; Actuality and History; and Character and Narrative.

Press Reviews:
"Ethics in Screenwriting brings in the perspective of the responsibility the screenwriter has in their narrative. The great aspect of this book is the perspective from different parts of the world, helping open up the perspective of any screenwriter or film academic. Steven Maras also wraps up everything wonderfully into a great thesis that could be taught in any ethics classes or a screenwriting course, because there is a heavy responsibility in the words of a writer, whether they know it or not." (Yousif Nash, Journal of Screenwriting, Vol. 11 (2), 2020)
