Neill Hicks, a successful screenwriter whose credits include Rumble In The Bronx and First Strike, brings the clarity and practical instruction familiar to his UCLA students to screenwriters everywhere
In his refreshingly straightforward style, Hicks tells the beginning screenwriter how the mechanics of Hollywood storytelling work and how to use those elements to create a script with blockbuster potential without falling into cliches.
Also discussed are the practicalities of the business-securing an agent, pitching your script, protecting your work and other topics essential to building a career in screenwriting.
What people say
“Neill Hicks makes complex writing concepts easy to grasp in a way that only a master teacher could. And he does so while keeping his book one hell of a fun read.”
Eric Edson,
Screenwriter and Executive Director of the Hollywood Symposium
“Screenwriting 101 is a book that achieves exactly what its title implies: it teaches a primer course on the process of screenwriting to a novice.”
