Writing Movies For Fun and Profit (Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon)

Hollywood screenwriters Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon’s movies have made over a billion dollars at the box office. Despite that fact, it’s more than likely that you’ve probably never heard of them by name.

This book will give you insight into the highs and lows of being a working screenwriter in Hollywood. You’ll learn the art of pitching, how to get your foot in the door, how to take notes from big names in the business, how to ensure that you get the right credits and royalties, and yes, how to get fired and even rehired.

This is perhaps the best, most honest, and most hilarious insight to how it really is to be a working screenwriter.
