Writing a Screenplay by John Costello
Exploding the myth that a screenplay is the easiest literary form to master, this book navigates a relatively painless path through the screenwriting labyrinth and offers an easy to digest, step-by-step guide to writing a script from inception to completion. If you don't learn, you won't earn.
John Costello's book is just about the best on screenwritingI'd place it alongside John McKee's 300 + page book; that's how good Prof. Costello's slim book is -- Fred Lobb
The book is great, for what it is: a brief introduction to the complex art of screenwriting. By the end of it, I was left with two very strong impressions. Firstly, that I really want to go and write a screenplay now, and secondly that writing a screenplay properly is bloody hard work! -- Griff * Write Words Writers' Community *
