A book of ample examples and explanations about how to write a screenplay and how to actually sell it. A must-read for aspiring screenwriters.

His exhalation of American Beauty is regrettable and a reminder of how awful a “perfectly structured” movie can be if that’s all it has going for it.

Stopped reading at the half of it. Guy keeps repeating the same sentences over and over again and listing the same 10 movies. Not really helpful tipps for the actual screenwriting process and VERY american-hollywood-centric

This was great to understanding how and where to start writing a script although it’s lacking SOME info on formatting (font size? Etc.)

I remember reading this in a previous form a few decades ago. It still holds up as a great tool for either starting in on a new idea to be put into a screenplay format or, like me, to take an existing idea that may have existed in another format (book, article, &c...) and fashion it into a screenplay. This is a must have for anyone with an interest in completing their first work.
