This book closes or at least diminishes a gap many aspiring script writers have to face: it's easy to get literature on writing a screen play, but what comes after that? Straczynski explains the world of those who are supposed to see, love and buy our screen plays, and he does it from years of experience.
Interesting and a fun read.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 April 2004
A weighty tome, laced with a good use of metaphor and language. It givesreasonable guidance on the importance of format, though American readerswill find it more useful than Europeans in this respect. It's cautionarytone helps keep the budding writer on his/her toes, always avoiding thestarry-eyed bull and bluster that is often typical of this type of book. Significant chunks of this book however, bear little relevance to theneeds of non-Americans, and that is where it falls short slightly. Alliedto that, his chroncling of TV history is outrageously US-centric. Baird,the Beeb and Alexandra Palace don't even merit a mention. If I wereAmerican, I'd probably give it a 5-star rating. As a Brit, it'shistorical bias and lack of a global perspective prompts me to give it a3.

This is perfect for writers at all levels. Providing a good history to the subject and telling you all you need to know in the fields of Animation, Comics and Screenwriting. Not all of this may be applicable to you (it wasn't to me), but Straczynski has had success in all those fields from He-Man to Murder She Wrote to Babylon 5 to The Amazing Spiderman. One of the few screenwriting book actually written by someone who is doing well. So many are written by people who present a lot of seminars but haven't sold anything. LISTEN TO THIS MAN - success and quality are a rare commodity!
