For those of you looking for another great industry resource, check out Amanda the Aspiring TV Writer, who recently conducted an awesome interview with Will Akers, the equally awesome writer behind the book "Your Screenplay Sucks."
I can't recommend this book enough for the first-time screenwriter. It's everything you need to know to get your script past a bitter reader like me.
I completely echo your praise of this book! It provides a superb checklist for a rewrite. I found it helped me focus on finding the minor errors in my script that I'd glossed over in an earlier draft.
ReplyDeleteAnd as a script reader, I found this book to be the perfect commiserator. It's been really helpful in informing my coverage; I can better define the issues I have with scripts, thus providing a more solid basis for my opinions of them.
