Reviews for Screenwriters Advice: From Popular and Award Winning Film, TV, and Streaming Shows

Screenwriter’s Advice is a cut-to-the-chase book that goes to the heart of professional screenwriting. This book gives the young writer an opportunity to sit at the table with professional screen and television writers as they talk about writing. Great advice based off years of professional experience on every page. I found myself nodding in agreement throughout. This is a book you will go back to again and again. * Jack Epps, Jr., Professor at the John Wells Division of Writing, University of Southern California, USA *
