### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    ONE OF THE BEST OUT THERE
  

*by F***F on Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2014*

The most useful and practical scriptwriting book published in the past 20 years. If you want solid instruction with a practical approach, you need this.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    including what the script and outline look like.
  

*by G***F on Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2014*

Thank goodness for libraries. I took out several screenwriting books yesterday because I wanted specific answers and advice. Although this copy was from 1976, I valued how it laid out the steps of developing one's idea all the way to the master scene script and into surviving story conferences. This is specific and to the point. It distinguishes the premise, outline, treatment, and step outline stages. Most impressively it gave specific examples. The advice was straight to the point. It was quite the opposite from seeming to talk down to the reader.  As perhaps a side-note, it also devoted collection of chapters to writing a "fact story", what I take to mean a documentary, including what the script and outline look like.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    The best screenwriting book I've found so far!
  

*by B***K on Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2008*

I'm not sure what book the other reviewers here were reading, but after looking at some of the other popular screenwriting books out there, I've found that this "Practical Manual" is perhaps the best overall at helping screenwriters learn the craft, both technically and creatively.  It is full of very useful practical (thus the appropriate title) advice and guidelines for structuring a screenplay in terms of story and style.Don't hesitate to buy this book and use it!  It's worth every penny.
