4.0 out of 5 stars
Charming, clever quick read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Conversations with My Agent (Paperback)
Conversations with my agent succeeds on three levels: as a quick introduction to writing for television, as a morality tale about overnight success in Hollywood, and as a humor book. I've read almost everything there is to read about screenwriting, and this book was by far the most enjoyable in an overcrowded, turgid genre. It wasn't deep, but it sure was fun -- and informative.

This review is from: Conversations with My Agent (Paperback)
This quick read is full of funny scenes as the author labors to bring his sitcom onto the air. He has a rare (in Hollywood) modesty; he drops no names although he badmouths no one.He doesn't even name the sitcom he managed to get on the air and which he discusses throughout the book (it was PIG STY, which ran on UPN for a season). He's currently producing LOVE AND MONEY for CBS.

Witty, funny tale of a queer world,

This review is from: Conversations with My Agent (Hardcover)
Great book, written in an unusual witty style. He admits some of his luck to get in the business and how quickly it can be taken away. I recommend this book for anyone wanting to know more about the business AND be entertained.
