"Board
games come with a set of rules in order to play the game. A car comes with
an owner's manual to help you understand the way your car works. Screenwriting
should come with this book. (It) covers everything a screenwriter needs
to know in order to successfully navigate through the tough field of screenwriting.
From laying down the guidelines that will help you create a screenplay that
will get read by Hollywood, to detailing how each step of the screenwriter's
journey to Hollywood works; Yoneda succeeds in writing a comprehensive cross
between a rule book and manual that every beginning screenwriter would be
well-advised to read." |
