Writing for the Screen Reviews

'One of the most accessible - and yet comprehensive - books on screenwriting that I have ever read. The book manages to be instructive without being academic, entertaining without resorting to entertainment, and pragmatic without being anecdotal. The result is a fully-dimensional approach to both the craft and the business of screenwriting that surpasses other, more singular-minded works - truly a revelation for neophyte writers and a useful brush-up tool for seasoned pros as well' - David Kukoff, Northwestern University, US
