Screenwriter's Bible - 6th Edition: A Complete Guide to Writing, Formatting & Selling Your Script

This is the best and clearest book on screenwriting I have seen to date. The chapter on formatting screenplays is very sensible too. I'm comparing this to "The Hollywood Standard" by Christopher Riley - which is a good book - and "The Complete Guide to Standard Script Formats - Part 1: The Screenplay" by Cole and Haag - which is dated, disorganised and inconsistent (compare the contradictory formatting advice on pages 5 and 11). Trottier's book uses very clear examples of well known and up-to-date films, although he doesn't cover how screenplays are revised during film production; you'll need "The Hollywood Standard" to explain how that works (coloured paper, revision marks, 'A' pages, page numbering, etc.). I'd reserve the Cole and Haag book to the 'interesting reading' category.

Excellent book! I am studying screenwriting, and this book is an excellent aid. It's very clear, and easy to understand. I would recommend it to all writers / potential writers of screenplays.

A Gift much Loved ! I gifted a friend who absolutely loves the book - a real text book that gives wonderful insights from each aspect of what is involved in producing a screenwriter's story, script .

Came in perfect condition and very easy to read. Good product overall.

I am a beginner screenwriter. This is perfect. Helped me loads so far. Simply laid out. Clear language, where screenwriting jargon is ever used it's always explained. So far, highly recommended.

Very happy with its content so far and it arrived as stated and in perfect condition, so very satisfied

This was a very useful book, it has hundreds of pages and i do recommend it to anyone who wants to screen write their own product.

Arrived in perfect condition - very pleased and I’m getting some great advise from it!
