About the Book:
The entertainment industry's executive decision-makers are always looking for a great story. But they don't have time to read every screenplay or book themselves. Instead, they often rely on story analysts, or readers, who become the first to read and pass judgment on submissions. Story analysts' reports ("coverages") help form the basis for executive decisions.
Reading for a Living will give you insight into what readers are looking for when they analyze a script. It's a how-to book that includes coverage samples. The book also reviews fundamental writing skills. At the very least, you will gain insight into one of the first jobs many writers have used as a means to break into the industry. The art and business of script coverage beginning with the basics of what to look for, writing the synopsis, the character breakdown, and evaluating the work are all nicely detailed.
The book also examines how to find and keep a reading job, the possibilities for advancement, and income and money management particulars.
What people say:
"If you want to fully understand the process of coverage, read Reading for a Living…." — Skip Press, Author: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Screenwriting
