Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Writers have to understand and develop the elements that make a great script before writing the script itself. Halperin demonstrates how treatments can be effective, taking writers through the entire process in a variety of genres including originals, adaptations, movies-of-the-week, miniseries, sitcoms and soap operas.

Book News Annotation:

Halperin, a former executive story consultant for 20th Century Fox Television, offers advice on how to write a "treatment," the industry term for the summary of a television or movie script that is often used to determine whether to move forward with a project or not. After presenting general information on writing treatments, he looks at the particular examples of episodic television and daytime serials.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Synopsis:

Writing a script can take months or years. However, a great treatment, a two- or three-page storyline, can sell your work much more effectively. This book tells you how to write and use your treatment to get your project off the ground quickly.
