The Bare Bones Book of Screenwriting is one of the most
authoritative, popular and useful books on screenwriting, written
by a USC Cinema-Television alumni with several sold, optioned,
produced and award winning screenplays. Using a
'let's-get-down-to-brass-tacks' approach it focuses on the
essentials of screenwriting: creative, technical and business
principles. For teens, college students and beginners of all ages,
this easy to understand filmmaking resource provides screenplay
tools to help with feature film writing, short screenplays and TV
scripts: script formatting, screenplay outlines, contest and
competitions, writing the synopsis, treatments, story development,
the hero's journey, three act structure, book adaptations,
character, dialogue, structure, plot, mechanics, comedy writing,
selling a screenplay, screenwriting agents and managers, working
with producers, directors and more. Referred to in the industry as
"the bootcamp for screenwriters" this is one tool any aspiring
screenwriter needs in their toolbelt. An "all in one" guide to
writing screenplays that sell for beginners and intermediate
writers. Film school is expensive, and won't give you real world
experience. The lessons will teach you the correct format and
storytelling rules, tricks and mistakes to avoid when writing your
screenplay. Any film or TV writer can benefit as it walks the
reader through creating a professional industry standard Hollywood
screenplay to attract agents and filmmakers. Students, non WGA and
WGA members use this for help during outlining and writing
screenplays. Film school or college can only teach an aspiring film
writer so much. This screenwriter's "bible" offers trade secrets
and education only found by working as a professional screenwriter.
"The perfect guide for new writers. Sharp prose and practical
advice in simple English with all the nuts, bolts, and screws
you'll need." - Ravi Malhotra (Academy Award winning producer, West
Bank Story). "Josh has written the most digestible and realistic
I've read dealing with plot, format and the realty of marketing my
screenplay. It takes the confusion away." - Michael Klima (Editor
Lucasfilm, USC Cinema-Television Alumni, Director "My Sister's
Keeper" starring Henry Winkler and Bruce Davison)
