With an honest approach to the world of screenwriting, coupled with a sincere helping-hand outstretched to its readers, this "Selling to Hollywood" Guide was a pleasant surprise.

Many authors claim to know the quickest and easiest ways to market a script, but only in this book have I found the most un-skewed view of the industry expressed. Sometimes brutally honest, Selling to Hollywood exposes many of the unrealized truths about Hollywood to the undeterred screenwriter in attempts to inform rather than discourage. In fact, coming to these realizations gives the edge that is desperately needed to be a successful screenwriter, daunting as the odds may be.

Selling to Hollywood also reveals the "Rules of the Game", addressing vital steps in the process of effectively pitching your screenplay. It describes the Face to Face Meeting, the quick 30 Second Pitch, and the Unsolicited Letter. It doesn't stop there though. It continues to teach you how to sell yourself along with your script.

Everything written is meant to arm the reader with knowledge so as not to be taken advantage of. Extensive information on the copywriting process is provided, helping the screenwriter protect him or herself.

Also, a nice touch was a very thorough list of contact information for Feature Film and Television Production Companies, as well as Literary Agents.

This is a MUST BUY if you are looking to beat the odds and sell your script(s) to Hollywood.
