[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-08-08 Summary: Good all-round book... ... Don't look to this book for script-writing advice. It mostly relies on the business side of show-business, describing the inner workings of the TV industry and the steps that you can take in order to get your foot through the door (this is actually the title of one of the chapters) and what you need to do when you have two or more spec scripts in your writer's portfolio. There is some advice as to what topics and story lines to avoid when writing a spec, but aside from that, there is little in the book about screenwriting. ...more

[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-02-26 Summary: Excellent ... I've read many books on writing for film and television, and this is one of the best. What I like most about Alex Epstein's style is that it is immensely, if not compulsively, readable. His advice is practical and straightforward, and he approaches the topics in the book with a much appreciated playful sense of humor. There are books that are educational but pretentious and are a chore to go through, this book manages to be instructive and entertaining at the same time; it's a real gem. Highly recommended! ...more
