This guide is going to break down practical and proactive techniques to help you get started, and show you how to maintain a career once you're up and running. It's a guide that's less about the craft of screenplay writing and more about being a working script writer. There are lots of books about rare occurrences of someone "selling it big". This book is about being part of the hard-working majority, not a one-off fluke. If you picked up a book about investing your money, you'd be rightly disappointed if the advice inside was "win the lottery". There'll be no "sell a script for a million dollars on your first go" nonsense here. This book is about long-term success through graft. How do you survive as a writer?FOREWORD BY TONY JORDAN - "Tim and Danny have put together some great tips for surviving the (writing) process."What a great book, I wish there'd been something like this around five years ago."
