Reviews

[Steven Shinder]

This book gives great insight into how scripts are written and the process through which films are made. There is information about formatting and copyright that can be very useful. The information about scripts getting rewritten makes the profession of screenwriting less appealing to me. Luckily, I am a novelist at heart.

Very user friendly, and great for the novice screenwriter. It's concise, clear and well-crafted.
