description: The first step-by-step guide to giving movie and TV screenplays the formatting that Hollywood wants. Of the 100,000 scripts that reach Hollywood each year, most are rejected because they don't follow formatting rules. This unique manual walks aspiring screenwriters through the major elements of authentic script formatting and gives strategies for using each to maximum effect. It also packs sound advice on rewriting, the pros and cons of writers' groups (plus how to find one), formatting with a PC or word processor--even the right way to cover, bind, and mail off a finished draft. Reichman teaches filmwriting at Georgetown University and writing for visual media at American University.
