The former was especially well received and became a classic in the fields of screenwriting and playwriting. In his 1997 book Writers.net, Gary Gach wrote, "Charles Deemer should win an Oscar for best screenwriters' Web site, but the Academy hasn't come to grips with the Internet yet."

At the top of this page are links to Screenwright, my electronic screenwriting tutorial; to my blog; to my literary archive; and to Oregon Literary Review, which I edit. Check them out.
