How to Write It, How to Sell It : Everything a Screenwriter Needs to Know About Hollywood

Rating:
Summary: The best book on screenwriting I've ever seen.
Review: This is the best book on screenwriting that I've ever read. Ira Fistell, national radio comentator.

Rating:
Summary: Comprehensive, accurate, from the shoulder.
Review: With all the books out there on screenwriting, Palmer's book shines from the pinnacle. It's direct, it's voice is genuine, it's useful. What makes it truly unique is Palmer's experience and insight from both sides of the production fence: she's a writer and knows writers' dilemmas with scripts, she's been an executive and knows how those scripts are perceived from the "other side of the desk." Perhaps this breadth of experience is what makes this more than a handbook; it's got savvy, and it's got heart.
