The authors give a 'nuts and bolts' overview of the entertainment business, and generally what a novice can expect once they have taken that first step into the glittering city called Hollywood. The sage advice given is ample to give a newcomer enough information to lead to the proper Hollywood doors, rather than down blind alleys. The authors give great advice, the dreamer has to do the work. I would highly recommend.

"Opening the doors to Hollywood" gives a great overview of the Hollywood system for any writer wanting to break in to the business.
It has a great "key" system which highlights useful websites and essential advice. It gives a good insight into the functioning of the major studios, independent production companies and television networks.
Overall, it's a very practical text which demystifies the Hollywood system and provides paths for new writers wanting to break in. "Opening the doors to Hollywood" is a useful and inspiring text.
