Screenwriting on the Internet: Researching, Writing and Selling Your Script on the Web

Rating:
Summary: Solid Resource
Review: A solid resource that provides instruction on email queries, pitching, contacting agents and producers. It's not just an "Internet" book. It's much more than that. It really is. And it's well written by someone who knows what they're talking about.

Summary: This book is fantastic
Review: I bought the book last week, it arrived a day or so ago and I was amazed at all of the information it had. Not just a book of links, or just a directory. But of instruction on e-mail queries and marketing info. Chris Wehner knows what he is talking about.
I highly recommend this book to beginner and intermediate screenwriters.

Review: I currently have this volume sitting on my desk. I have been waiting for a book like this one for some time and this book gives you that reassuring pat on the back: "It's okay to query by email. It's 21st century for God's sake!". I was worried upon purchasing the book that it would spend too much time on the subject of researching your work on the internet, but only one small chapter is dedictated to how to use Google and the like. The rest of the book is fantastic with reviews on those "pay to post your script sites" and what producers think of those sites and a very detailed listing of prod. companies that accept email queries, what type of material they like and quotes from a number of the producers on what catches their attention when you query. The book also contains a number of success stories of those who have used the internet to sell their work and tips and tricks for getting your work read. I would definitely say this is a book you should add to your screenwriting library.

Review: Not bad, not great. About half of it I could do without, but the other half is rather good. The producer and agent listings are good, and the chapter about e-mail querries is excellent. There's also some good instruction on how to use the Internet to market your script. All solid stuff. So is it worth your money? Yeah, I think it is. This is a book for someone wanting to sell a script.

Summary: accurate info
Review: With all the hundreds of books on screenwriting and breaking into the entertainment business, this has to be among the top ten "must have" for screenwriters! Not only has Christopher Wehner mastered an online site to assist writers at screenwritersutopia.com, but now he has created a step by step instruction booklet that is easy to read, understand, and hopefully put into action! From writing your screenplay to marketing it upon completion, the book also lists production companies and agencies that are "writer friendly"! A book like this has been long overdue, and could not have been scribed any better than this! I'm sure many writers will have greater successes in screenwriting thanks to Mr. Wehner!
