Hi everyone,

Sorry for cross-posting, but I thought some of you might be interested in this book - which features short 'industry insights' from a few people involved in this network.

Screenplays: How to Write and Sell Them (Kamera Books, 2012)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Screenplays-How-Write-Sell-Them/dp/1842435035/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_5

An accessible, comprehensive book aimed at those with a keen interest in writing feature film screenplays. Using case studies, creative exercises and insights from industry, readers are guided through the key stages of developing and writing a screenplay, from sourcing ideas to developing characters and constructing scenes. The book also explores how screenplays might be sold or used to raise interest in the writer, considering areas such as finding and working with an agent, networking, submitting to competitions, and raising private funding. Films discussed include Notes on a Scandal, The Kids Are All Right, Mysterious Skin, Me and You and Everyone We Know and Ratatouille.

‘Keep this on your desk. Read it again and again. This is not just a guide – there are plenty of those – but a literary companion that offers insight, wisdom and inspiration to any screenwriter, whether new or seasoned. Essential, indeed.’ – Robin Mukherjee, BAFTA-nominated film and television screenwriter (Lore, Combat Kids, Plastic Man)

‘Whether you’re starting on your first or your twentieth script, Screenplays ... How to Write and Sell Them will provide you with results-oriented exercises, spot-on case studies, workable options and professional insight on how to shape your ideas, characters and creative energy into a saleable screenplay.’ – Kathie Fong Yoneda, international consultant and author of The Script-Selling Game

More than a how-to book ... it contains original in-depth case studies and insights into the craft and business of screenwriting.

Best wishes,

Craig
