Customer Reviews

Excellent.

Skip Press has written a book that not only covers all types of writing (screenplays, non-fiction, novels, TV, freelance, etc.), but he does it in a very engaging, easy-going way. And he's not touchy-feely. Just good, sound, solid advice on what you can expect. You'll read it in one sitting, then you'll keep coming back to it. I've already read it three times.

Pragmatic advice by someone who's been there.

This turned out to be a helpful book by a guy who's been through the routine. Good, pragmatic advice. I was impressed that Skip Press had studied with John Truby, one of the best story structure teachers I've ever met.Skip, if you read this, I have a question regarding genres. How would you type Kurt Vonnegut or Tom Robbins or Ayn Rand? How would you pitch one of their stories?Charles Holloway (fleetpublishing@home.com)
