More than a basic how-to guide for aspiring writers, the Screen Writer's Guidebook is a teaching tool and teaching model designed to inform readers of a genre of writing that defines popular culture. While both television and film writing have their own nuances in presentation, this book discusses both the similarities and the distinctions that make it such a difficult business to enter. Yet and still, List and Houston want readers to enter and excel in this business. While you may not become a famous TV writer overnight (although Houston did), and you may not have a film that was shown at the Cannes Film Festival (although List did), you will be better informed and more prepared when you do pitch your first script.
