4.0 out of 5 stars Does exactly what it says on the label! , 5 Jun 2006
By B. D. Milford (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
At last a readable book on screenwriting, albeit aimed at the American market. Lots of goods things in it - mine now includes loads of postitnotes to guide me back to the bits I need most. Like most of the '...for dummies' books, it cuts through the jargon. Thanks for the inspiration to continue writing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Does exactly what it says on the tin, 20 Jul 2009
By Mr. Cj Hubbard (Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Screenwriting for Dummies (Paperback)
I've read similar books on the subject by other authors such as Syd Field. Whilst Syd Field's book "The Definitive Guide to Screenwriting" is valuable in explaining (at length and repeatedly) about getting into the mindset of being a screen writer - this book nicely lays the initial groundwork on all areas. I'd recommend getting this book before all others. If you still feel unsure after reading it, then move on to a heavier book such as the afore mentioned "The Definitive Guide to Screenwriting".
