Must have for professional screenwriters
This book is a terrific resource for anyone who is or wants to be a professional screenwriter and doesn't have a law degree. It explains in easy to understand - and often hilarious - language the legal issues screenwriters face. More importantly, it shows how screenwriters can protect themselves from the many pitfalls in Hollywood. I've read dozens of books on the business of screenwriting, and have never before seen a lot of the crucial information contained in this one. Every screenwriter should read this BEFORE they start to market their work.

A MUST for those who want to write for Hollywood or beyond
This is a wonderful resource for anyone who wants to write for the entertainment industry. It explains, in easy to understand and amusing language, exactly how to get started, how to protect yourself, what questions to ask and what words you never understood really mean. I expected the book to be a technical guide to the entertainment industry. It is. It answers many important questions. BUT, it is one of the most amusing, entertaining, creative books on making it in this business that I have ever read. Brooke Wharton is fabulous!
