Skip Press

Screenwriter, author, journalist and educator Skip Press has created an incredibly useful research tool with his latest book, which includes full listings for producers, directors and agents with useful commentary throughout. But this book is much more than a comprehensive index -- it contains practical advice about what the screenwriting world is really like and what the novice screenwriter must know in order to break into this competitive field.

Features include in-depth interviews with key players in Hollywood, essential information on formats, structure and submissions, a full guide to useful Internet sites and an inside peek at the inner workings of the film industry from a screenwriter's perspective. Written in Press' distinctively entertaining style, the book provides detailed, comprehensive information about navigating the Hollywood maze. A must-have for beginning screenwriters.
