Review

"David Howard calls this book 'a writer's guide.' I think it's a wonderful and indispensable producer's guide to story, storytelling, and screenwriting."--Lawrence Turman, producer of "The Graduate, Running Scared, The Flim-Flam Man," and other films
"What David Howard has done with "The Tools of Screenwriting" is to reveal for me and for all readers just how stories work; he shows that there are no absolute rules, but there are principles that can help a beginning writer gain understanding of all the elements that go into the creation of a 'good story well told.'"--Diane Keaton
""The Tools of Screenwriting" is the best primer on the craft, far better than the usual paint-by-the-numbers sort of books that abound."--Frank Pierson, Academy Award-winning screenwriter of "Cool Hand Luke, Dog Day Afternoon, Presumed Innocent, and A Star is Born"
