The blunt truth is, the many who write from scratch, no matter how talented, have more chance of winning the lottery than creating an excellent script. Those who achieve success do so because they have shed the blood, sweat and tears necessary to master the elaborate art and craft of Screenwriting.

This book explodes the myth that a screenplay is the easiest literary form to master but offers a relatively painless path through the Screenwriting labyrinth, and an easy to digest step-by-step guide to writing a script from inception to completion.
