KNOWLEDGE = SUCCESS

It's no secret that producers, agents, and managers simply won't read
scripts that aren't formatted, structured, and written to professional standards.

Those standards are easy to achieve with the succinct, bottom-line approaches in 
three little books, each available here on Amazon.

Will reading these books guarantee your success as a screen or television writer?
No.
​But not following their step-by-step strategies will guarantee your failure.

The quickest way to get noticed and paid for
your work is to Stop Screwing Around and WIN Your Next Screenplay Contest. 
Winners and Finalists can make industry
connections and often sell their scripts
for serious money.
​This book will help you do just that by
WINNING your next contest!

How your screenplay looks and reads sends a clear message to any lit manager, agent, producer, or Hollywood studio.
The appearance of your words on your pages tells the world you're either a rank amateur or a serious professional.
Proper formatting is simply a fundamental requirement.
If you want to be seen as a professional, it's time to Stop Screwing Around and Format Your Screenplay Like a Pro.
