Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:There are really only two types of people in Hollywood: those who sit around wearing black clothes in smoky coffee shops, complaining they can?t get their scripts past the studio gates? and then there are the players. The ones with the hot scripts. The ones crackling with energy. The ones with knowledge.
Players understand that their success in Hollywood is not based on luck or nepotism; it?s the result of understanding how Hollywood really works. The Script-Selling Game brings together over 25 years of experience from an entertainment professional who shows you how to prepare your script, pitch it, meet the moguls, talk the talk, and make the deal. It?s a must for both novice and veteran screenwriters. Review:"Super-concise, systematic, real-world advice on the practical aspects of screenwriting and mastering Hollywood from a professional.
