I share my keen insight in the SCREENWRITERS ASSISTANCE area of this website. There you'll find helpful information like a pared-down list of the Script Competitions I consider most worthwhile, the difference between drafting query letters for producers vs. agents, how to submit your material to producers, where to find those pesky brass brads if you don't live in Hollywood, and much more...

FEATURED BOOK
of the Month

"I liked it, didn't love it. Screenplay Development from the inside out". This new book by Rona Edwards and Monika Skerbelis should be a real treat. Monika has a great eye for story -- I know since she read my first script while at Universal PIctures. Worth a look.

I shop for all my books, music, and movies on Amazon.com!

FEATURED CD
of the Month

When I saw this final film of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, I knew I just had to add it to the other two soundtracks in the collection. Wonderful mood music to write, whether it's the wonder, romance, adventure, joy, or fear element you're looking for. Great Stuff!

Some of my other favorite soundtracks include GLADIATOR, THE GRUDGE, and THE BONE COLLECTOR.
