Television and Screen Writing

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This book covers everything from story structure to pitching strategies and sample contracts." --- Hollywood Scriptwriter, April 2001

"What a great resource! I'm a screenwriter, a former development executive, and a teacher at a top communications school. I've read all of the screenwriting books, even written one myself, but have seen few that compare to the latest edition of Television And Screen Writing. Featuring everything from pitching strategies, to sample contracts, to statistics on recent script sales, to discussions about soap, interactive, and nonfiction writing, this book is a resource that ALL writers will want to keep close to the keyboard. Thank you, Richard Blum!"
--- Evan Smith, author of Writing Television Sitcoms

"They say you can't have it all but this book has just that: everything you need to know about writing for film and television. Beyond profound insights into theory and analysis, here are also important nuts-and-bolts considerations that turn real writers into reel writers. Written in language that is itself clear as light, the new edition expands Professor Blum's substantial contribution to the field."
---Professor Richard Walter, author, Escape From Film School: a Novel, UCLA Screenwriting Chairman
