3.0 out of 5 stars
Pretty good book, but dated,
By A Customer
This review is from: Getting Your Script Through the Hollywood Maze: An Insider's Guide (Paperback)
This was my first "How To" book on screenwriting. I read this book over 10 years ago. It would be nice if Ms. Stuart updated it.The book does have some interesting info on what script readers are looking for and how to make it through the "Hollywood maze". Very cool. But what has changed in Hollywood in the last 10-12 years? You'll find more recently published books that attempt to answer that question. Also, a lot of this book is a tutorial on screenwriting. It's pretty basic, but the information is still good. There are a lot of other books out there that focus on either the "Hollywood maze" or on the craft of screenwriting; and the content in these other books is more extensive and up-to-date. Don't get me wrong, this isn't a bad book. But I think it's time we've left the 1980's Joe Ezterhaus/Shane Black world of screenwriting behind us, and instead focused on something better than "high concept".

Linda teaches/taught a course in Story Analysis at the American Film Institute, and writes from a script reader's point of view. She offers some penetrating insight from the other side of the word processor
