DickersonThe Complete Idiots Guide to Screenwriting; 3rd Edition Covers the topic of screenwriting very thoroughly; and clearly; and is packed full with tidbits of helpful information. It is creatively infused with a caffein of mixed media including clever cartoons; examples of speculative scripts; ample sidebars; and creative summaries at the end of each chapter. The CD included with the book adds another dimension of practical information stacking this book near the top of the list of must-have learning tools for the personal library of the budding screenwriter.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Skips book is ideal for beginnersBy Stephen ZadarnowskiOne has to assume that to buy a Beginners Guide automatically places that person on the remainder of the world that does not know about Screenwriting. Indeed; I knew next to nothing about screenwriting but wanted to know more.Skip doesnt pull any punches about the industry. There are lessons hard learnt for those who would like to try and bend other peoples rules for submissions. And there are plenty of other tips about screenwriting which seem contrary to the ways and workings of this modern digital world -- that is; in the eyes of the non-screenwriter.Other pointers mentioned within are there to help us write i) a script and ii) a good script. Tools; contacts; online resources and plenty of references to movies and their plot styles add to the depth of the introductory information that needs to be assimilated in order to get an overview of screenwriting.There is no doubt that a book will not turn a person into a screenwriter as it is the persons own drive; ambition and writing skill that makes for success. Those who want to learn about the screenwriting trade would do well to order and read this book whether it is for writing or just for education.Yeah! Ive got a story in the works; and yeah; Im a lazy type with a short attention span and shorter memory. What counts for me is that when I get off my hands and start writing as if my life depends on it Ive got the book right here thatll take me from beginning to end.This one is worth the bucks. It certainly inspired me to look at getting some ideas on paper. That is where all these movies and TV programs come from; after all. As for being a complete idiot; well; Ive certainly qualified for that role a few times before.
