About this title

Synopsis

Advises writers on protecting their work, understanding legal jargon, finding an agent, and more

Reviews

If Wharton's book were a major motion picture, it would be destined to gross $300 million. Not only does Wharton, a Hollywood entertainment and copyright lawyer, demystify the legal mumbo jumbo of the entertainment industry, but she also answers questions like, "Do I have a contract if the agreement is written on a cocktail napkin?" and "Do all contracts have to be in writing?" An outstanding section called "Agents, Lawyers, and Managers" and sample forms and agreements are included as well. Whether you are writing for film, television, feature animation, or interactive gaming, the topics that concern you are covered here. As an added bonus, the author includes interviews with professionals in the field. A brilliantly researched section called "Resources and Tools" concludes the book. Every serious collection on motion-picture screenwriting should have this one on their shelves.?Marty Dean Evensvold, Magnolia P.L., Tex
