Synopsis:

"I can't believe how much money and time I've wasted on long and bulky screenwriting books with very little useful information. I highly recommend this book."
--Nick Masao - Writer/Director, Monrovia on Fire


Want to (finally) learn how to write a script with characters that capture the attention of managers, agents, and vain, self-centered actors?

Want to learn screenplay writing shortcuts and strategies to creating interesting, flawed -- though oddly-compelling -- characters without spending months and months of backstory creation and/or therapy?

Looking for a NO B.S. and super-simple Screenwriting 101 that will show you how to get inside the head, and the heart, of your characters to make plotting and writing almost effortless?

"If you've read tons of books on how to create great characters, you've wasted a lot of money and time, when all you needed was this one."
--R.L. Black - Author, Things Change: In a Flash


Well, in...How to Write a Script With Characters That Don't Suck - Screenplay Writing Made (Stupidly) Easy Book 2 you'll learn how to write a movie script with characters that literally scream off the page. (Okay, not literally. But you know what we mean.)

  • "4 Steps to Kick-Ass Movie-Character Awesomeness" - Or this could be described as how to not make every stupid character-creation mistake I made when learning how to write a screenplay. (Don't do what I did!)
  • "How to Create Main Characters People Give a Crap About" - In this chapter we'll go over simple strategies for ensuring reader empathy and fulfilling story development when it comes to your most important dramatis personae
  • "The Ultimate Formula for Generating Great Movie Villains" - Duh, duh, duh! In this chapter we'll go over one of the most fun things you can do in script writing...write villains.
  • "The Strange, Wonderful (and Often Terrifying) World of Supporting Characters" - Here's what you need to to know to make sure you keep your supporting characters in line, and doing their job to express theme and stakes.
