Reviews

John Costello's book is just about the best on screenwriting. I'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 *
