Skip Press

Skip Press (www.skippress.com) has edited a Hollywood entertainment magazine, produced and directed plays, made instructional videos, sold feature film scripts, served as the Hollywood correspondent for Boys Life, been a staff writer for a UPN kids show, published young adult novels and non–fiction series like Star Families, and taught an online screenwriting course that was available in 1,500 schools. He has had nearly 50 books published, including four editions of Writer's Guides to Hollywood, four editions of the Complete Idiot's Guide to Screenwriting (including one in Russian). In 2009, This Is My Song: A Memoir, by Patti Page with Skip Press was published in hardcover and the ebook from New Word City came out mid-2017. His Complete Idiot’s Guide to Making Money with Craigslist actually made money, fooling people who thought it wasn't wanted. His screenplay consultations have resulted in feature film deals. His first how-to writing book, How To Write What You Want & Sell What You Write, has been selling steadily for almost 25 years. Many of the books he ghost-writes and edits have hit #1 in their category on Amazon, such at the Ultimate Guide to Video Game Writing & Design, which stays at or around #1 (Press sold the book and edited it). His most recently edited book is From The Great Wall To Wall Street by Wei Yen. Check out his Pinterest page for much much more.
