With a focus on writers who have gotten representation and broken into the TV or feature film space after the critical 2008 WGA strike and financial market collapse, the reader will learn from tangible examples of how success was achieved via hard work and specific methodology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book includes interviews from writers who wrote major studio releases (\u003cem\u003eThe Boy Next Door\u003c\/em\u003e), staffed on television shows (\u003cem\u003eAmerican Crime\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eNCIS New Orleans\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSleepy Hollow\u003c\/em\u003e), sold specs and television shows, placed in competitions, and were accepted to prestigious network and studio writing programs. These interviews are presented as Screenwriter Spotlights throughout the book and are supported by insight from top-selling agents and managers (including those who have sold scripts and pilots, had their writers named to prestigious lists such as The Black List and The Hit List) as well as working industry executives. Together, these anecdotes, learnings and perceptions, tied in with the author's extensive experience in and knowledge of the industry, will inform the reader about how the industry REALLY works, what it expects from both working and emerging writers, as well as what next steps the writer should engage in, in order to move their screenwriting career forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lee Jessup\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138679127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138679122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Lee Jessup","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120946376959,"sku":"9781138679122","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_94940e0c-97fd-4138-b44d-f7371e8cbb38.jpg?v=1687417158","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/breaking-in-lee-jessup-9781138679122","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
