Summary: Almost hit the mark
Review: I know absolutely nothing about writing a movie treatment. Be aware, I am interested in writing a movie treatment NOT a full fledged script. So when I asked learned friends what book they suggested everyone named this one. I even asked for other references, everyone said this was THE book.

The book does give great details on the content of a treatment, the necessary parts, and insight into the industry, however I was waaaay disappointed that a sample movie treatment was NOT provided. Had the sample been included this book would have gotten a 5 star rating.

It would have been quite helpful to see a treatment dissected and the typing format!! Perhaps someone can email me a suggestion on a book that has the elements this book is missing

Take care--

Summary: This is my text book.
Review: I've read four books on the subject and this is the one I found most helpful. I referred to it constantly and used it as a text book while I was writing my first TV treatment.

Summary: More information
Review: Interesting book. But, I would be interested to hear of anyone who has utilitsed this and other such books and successfully submitted a script. Are these books worth the money or are they for people who are dreaming about being successful writers? How many 'real' writers use such books? Can a writer 'make it' by using them? If anyone has read this book and had success, please submit a review as I think this would help other reads decide how good this book really is.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A MUST-BUY for the aspiring Hollywood writer
Review: Many people do not know that, before you write a screenplay, you should probably write a treatment (the great outline of your screenplay). This book shows you how to write it, register it, and sell it! A must buy for film students and anyone else who is interested in screen-writing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the first real book to deal with the topic
Review: The one step script writing beginners and neophyts MUST, abosolutly MUST read and FULLY understand. It should be required for FILM DEPARTMENT students in every FILM school world wide as a dictiornary is part of writing/English grammer classes. Dale Godbee, Michigan

Summary: chosen by Book of the Month Club as a Quality Paperback!
Review: This book answers the questions: What is a treatment? How do I write a treatment? How do I use my treatment to sell my story to film or television?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A MUST for FIMLERS
Review: This book is a gem. It was recommended by a fellow writer and it basically walked me through the process of writing the treatment for my novel. I look forward to using it again and again. It was informative and gave resources that are invaluable. They need to give seminars!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good, practical guide
Review: You won't find strict guidelines here on how to format a treatment, mainly because there really aren't any. The act of creating a treatment, though, and the thought processes that go into it are what matter, and the authors do an excellent job of helping a writer think about these things. The authors also maintain a great web site that's worth checking out.
