Ahh, The life of a Screenwriter…..fame, fortune, artistic freedom and fulfillment and yes, a lot of hard work.
For those aspiring to be a professional screenwriter, you will need a whole lot of guidance along the way. Screenwriting is a craft and should be learned. Screenwriting books are an inexpensive and rewarding place to start. Get your feet wet with some books, check out some local seminars, and maybe take some classes to see if you have it in you. I really hope you do, because given the state of television, we need you.
On this blog I will focus primarily on books and reviews for them. I have chosen books because I personally do not know any successful writers who have ever taken a screenwriting course or class. I have been in the industry for almost 20 years as an actor and while I have met writers with degrees, none have attended a course. I am sure they are out there, but anytime I ask for some writting advice, I am directed to a book. So books it is.
