Reviews

"A clear, insightful and sensitive look at the work of script editors and screen writers. The book never preaches and instead brilliantly explores the multiple approaches and individuality needed to write a great script and the empathy and inspiration script editors bring to the process. One of the only books I've read on the subject that captures the truly collaborative nature of film writing." —Hossein Amini, writer of Drive and writer and director of The Two Faces of January.
