Aspiring Screenwriter's Dirty Lowdown Guide to Fame and Fortune

A humorous and pithy guide to the craft of writing a screenplay and the business of being a screenwriter.

Seeing your name on the silver screen beneath the words Written By is a moment most writers only dream of. But for those daring and talented few, brave enough to take their hopes to Hollywood, there are clear and tangible steps to achieve that goal if one knows the path. The Aspiring Screenwriter's Dirty Lowdown Guide to Fame and Fortune provides that path. And Andy Rose has walked it.

With years of experience with every major film studio and network, and dozens of successful screenplays, Andy knows the business. He's here to debunk the big screen and teach you how to write a blockbuster screenplay and equally important, how to sell it.

Andy has worked with the best: Ron Howard, Tom Hanks, David Geffen, and Jeff Katzenberg to name a few. He has filled this book with real life examples to learn from including contracts, screenplays, treatments, press, and more. For anyone who's ever dreamed of writing a screenplay, for anyone who's wondered how to sell one, this is a must read.
