Amazon.co.uk reviews :
★★★★★ Great introduction to screenwriting and a valuable resource for the beginning screenwriter from an experienced writer and script analyst.
★★★★★ Reads at the pace of a good script and is full of useful guidance and exercises.
★★★★★ Even advanced writers will find this book a useful refresher.
★★★★★ The exercises and indeed resources at the end of the book apply to everyone. Good book, definitely recommend it.
★★★★★ Write that script is a solid foundation into the thoughts and processes necessary to go from concept to script.
★★★★★ A really simple, hands on, informative book for budding and seasoned screenwriters. Tips, tools and helpful techniques. Recommended.
★★★★★ As a lecturer in Animation I always start with the story. [Write That Script] is very well structured and leads the student clearly through the processes and helps them overcome the hurdles they may encounter. I have added it to my students’ reading list.
★★★★★ If [your scripts] are not getting the traction you want in screenplay contests, with submissions to funding and development agencies or indeed with producers and production companies then this book will help you to understand why and will provide you with the knowledge you need to rewrite them and turn them into winners.
