The First Time I Got Paid for It is a one-of-a-kind collection of
essays by more than fifty leading film and television writers, with
a foreword by screenwriting legend William Goldman. Linked by the
theme of a writer's "first time",usually the first time he got paid
for his work, but sometimes veering off into other, more
unconventional, "first times",these always entertaining (and
sometimes hilarious) pieces share what it takes to succeed, what it
takes to write well, and other aspects of maintaining creativity
and integrity while striving for a career in Hollywood. Richard
LaGravanese ( The Fisher King , The Horse Whisperer , Living Out
Loud ) confesses that his first paid writing job was crafting
phone-sex scripts. Nicholas Kazan ( Reversal of Fortune , Matilda )
explains why, in Hollywood, an oral "yes" often turns out to be a
written "no." Peter Casey writes about the unparalleled pitch
meeting for the award-winning series Frasier . Virtually every
big-name writer in Hollywood has contributed to this collection,
making it essential research material for anyone trying to make it
in the entertainment industry, and a perfect read for movie and
television buffs everywhere.
