Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The purpose of this book is to teach you the introductory skills in writing for television. If you want to develop a top career that rivals the likes of top tv screen writers, then you need this book. If you work through the ten week programme outlined in this book, you will NOT become commissioned for a TV company. However you will have a 'calling card', a sample script to show your skill sets as a writer. This is a vehicle for you to learn your writing craft and to show producers that you are capable of sustained research and can produce the script to time, to budget and have a quality piece of work. reviews for the book bear this out: 5 out of 5 stars An excellent book/guide By Sarah Gilanion I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to start writing TV scrips. K S Dhindsa 5.0 out of 5 stars A great read. An excellent step-by-step guide for published and unpublished screenwriters. Okay, maybe to expect to be a successful TV writer in ten weeks is a bit over optimistic, but its a damn good book. Very helpful and instructive. A good, easy to read, chatty style. He makes everything seem so easy and natural, even when setting up a format template. All you need is talent! Rosie Wiggins. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR004030185
