"This book answers all the hard questions every aspiring writer asks and the rest of the screenwriting manuals avoid. It's astonishing that this essential addition to every screenwriting library hasn't existed before—and a cause for celebration that it finally does now." —William Rabkin, Author of
Writing the Pilot, Professor of Television Writing and Producing at Long Island University’s TV Writers Studio "An essential book – so accessible, so beautifully written, so encouraging and realistic and specific. It covers all the bases. Anyone contemplating a career as a screenwriter MUST read this book!" —Dr. Linda Seger, Script Consultant, Author, Seminar Leader "
Writing for the Screen is perhaps the most powerful book on 'making it' in screenwriting that I've read in years. It is feverishly real, with raw truths and unabashed encouragement. I love the book's kaleidoscopic portrait and its solid approaches to the unique challenges of succeeding as a screenwriter today." —Dr. Pieter Aquilia, Head, Screenwriting, Australian Film Television & Radio School
