Screenwriters share their Hollywood secrets (excerpt)
Do you dream of being the next Spielberg? Do you watch movies and talk to your friends through the entire show, explaining camera angles, location choices and the art of night lighting? If you have started signing your name as "Mel Tarantino," then this is just the book for you.

Your copy of The 101 Habits of Highly Successful Screenwriters: Insider Secrets from Hollywood's Top Writers is quickly going to become soft with use, underlined and highlighted more than an undergrad's physics text, and covered in varying amounts of coffee (you stay up all night to work on the script that will change your life), popcorn ("research") and corned beef on rye (you write during lunch break). It is going to be your bible.
