The Hollywood Screenwriter: An Insider's Guide to Professional Screenwriting (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781387886333)

There has never been a better time to be a screenwriter. The recent explosion of cable and streaming services has created a huge demand for movies, limited series, and those long running "bingeable" shows that can hook viewers for years. Before streaming cable networks, the internet, and home entertainment systems radically changed how we consume our entertainment, there was a clear dividing line between writing for feature films and writing for television. That distinction no longer exists. Most major writers, filmmakers and movie stars are now eager to work on projects for the constantly evolving universe of distribution channels. Once you break in and get that first script sold or that first writing assignment, it's an open playing field for anyone who can deliver the kind of material that attracts an audience. The trick is to learn the craft and the strategies for navigating the business and to start writing...and then to persevere.
