What people say
“Of all the books I read on screenwriting, I loved Fade In the best. It has become a bible for me. Berman is honest and modest. He tries and succeeds to be helpful. I feel like I have a mentor sitting beside me as I write. He changed my life. Instead of writing novels I have now turned to screenwriting because of this book. Berman lifts out his hand and pulls you up.”
