Book excerpt: "While working in the headquarters of a film studio, John saw how easily screenplays are dismissed because of formatting errors, badly written description, rambling dialogue, and other common script problems. One day, the studio president said to him, 'Why should I spend time reading a script if the writer hasn't spent the time to polish it?' To help writers polish their scripts to the professional level expected by managers, agents, studio readers, producers, screenplay contests, and fellowship programs, John started the weekly workshop called Screenwriting Tribe. The membership quickly grew to include several hundred writers and actors. Over the years, John compiled information helpful for those writing screenplays. He has turned it into this book."--Page 4 of cover.
