For Anyone Who Can Read...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Who knew? I had to order a copy of this book after impulsively picking it up at the library. It was the word "soul" that grabbed my attention. I had to see if this was real or just a catchy title, soul starved writer that I am. Boy am I brilliant to have found this! I'm amazing! When I finished the last word, bawling like a baby, I felt like I had just stepped out of a theater in that total transformation ecstacy. But best of all, I was a mere few feet from my computer in my own little abode. All my stuff is transformed too! Wow. If you might like to be inspired to within an inch of your life, choose this book and then hide under the covers while you read it. You might get so engrossed you forget and pick your nose or something. (You don't even have to be a writer to love this book.)

As a screenwriting instructor, students are constantly asking me the "secrets" of making a million in Hollywood. Krevilin's book focuses on the reality of Hollywood today. This is an excellent resource for all aspiring screenwriters as well as instructors in need of content-rich reference material.
Definitely worth it and useful.

There are a lot of straightforward, practical, Step A, Step B, Step C books on how to write a screenplay. This book is not exactly that, although it definitely gives a lot of great insight. The best thing about this book is that it takes you through all the emotions you feel as a new screenwriter, all at the exact stages when you'd feel them. So many times I've wished I could call up Lawrence Kasdan or some other great mentor/screenwriter and see what he'd have to say, but Richard Krevolin does this for us! It's a really helpful book and he seems like a great guy.
"Tuesdays with Morrie" except more useful

What a great book. It should be read by hopeful screenwriters as well as anyone else who recognizes the need for good stories.Yay for Mr. Krevolin who seems to know exactly how to convey useful information in a story format.
at its core and in its heart

WOW! Richard Krevolin has written a screenwriting book that actually practices what it preaches. For, like a good movie, once you sit down with popcorn and drink, you won't get up until the final credits roll (no matter how full your bladder gets).A fictional story itself, it'll draw you further and further in with rich characters and an intriguing plotline.And when you're done, you'll have a practical and *memorable* set of screenwriting skills and knowledge (plus you may even cry).This book, has at its core and in its heart, *love*.Enjoy it. Then sit down and write and write and write and write - until you can't see straight anymore!!!! (then take a nap, and get up and write again.)
