Got a screenplay idea inside you just dying to get out? (You know, one without sparkly vampires or cars that turn into robots?)
Not sure how to navigate the confusing (and befuddling) world of script format and -- perish the thought -- crafting screenwriting dialogue that doesn't sound like it came out of a manual from the 80s?
Looking for a step-by-step screenwriting 101 guide that will walk you through everything you need to know to learn how to write a screenplay that engages readers, motivates talent and boosts your chances of achieving a full-time screenwriting career?
"Inhaled this book in one sitting. Probably the best book about screenwriting and how to break into the business. Inspiring and funny as all heck too. Loved it."
--Alberto Rios Arias - Author, A Death for Beauty: Or, An Immortal

Book 1 - How to Write a Screenplay That Doesn't Suck and Will Actually Sell - This is where we lay the foundation of your screenplay writing knowledge. You get a 50,000-foot view of how the film business works - and how your script fits into it. (Not to mention where I give my juiciest script writing structure hacks.)
Book 2 - How to Write a Movie Script With Characters That Don't Suck - Your story ain't going anywhere if you don't have compelling characters. And in this part of the screenwriting manual you'll learn the secrets to creating believable (and marketable) characters.
Book 3 - How to Write a Script With Dialogue That Doesn't Suck - In this part of the collection I go over some tips and tricks for developing an ear for dialogue -- even if you're as tone-deaf as my Mother.
Book 4 - Screenplay Format Made Stupidly Easy - If there's one area that befuddles most screenwriters it's screenplay formatting. In this installment I go over the least you need to know to up your screenwriting format IQ and write like a pro.
Book 5 - How to Sell a Screenplay in the 21st Century - And finally we go over what to do once you finish your screenplay, and you want to carve out a long-term film career.
So, if you've read all the books and tried all the strategies and still haven't found what you're looking for -- sorry, U2 -- then try Screenwriting Made Stupidly Easy (Book 1-Book 5 of the ScriptBully screenwriting collection.)
You might just find it's the missing piece to unlocking a whole new screenwriter-ly you.
