About the Book:
Got ten minutes? Write your screenplay. At last, leading Hollywood screenwriting instructor Pilar Alessandra shows everyone who's ever wanted to write a screenplay how to do it — without quitting their jobs or leaving their families. Packed with over sixty 10-minute writing tools, The Coffee Break Screenwriter keeps it focused and keeps it simple. Now, you can make real progress on your scripts with only ten minutes of stolen time.
The Coffee Break Screenwriter gives you guidance and tips at every stage of the often intimidating writing process with a relaxed, "ten minutes at a time" method that focuses your writing and pushes you forward. At each step, Pilar Alessandra encourages you to “Take Ten” and tackle an element of your scripts using the templates and tools provided. "What You've Accomplished" sections help you review your progress. And "Ten Minute Lectures" distill and demystify old-school theory, allowing you to unblock and keep writing.
What people say:
"I had a 'first-draft paperweight' on my desk for months. With Pilar's help, my scripts have transformed from desk clutter into calling cards. I've been hired by Warner Bros., signed with ICM, and am a new member of the WGA. I can honestly say that I wouldn't be in the position I am today if it weren't for Pilar." — Bill Birch, writer of Shazam, Warner Bros.
"Pilar's techniques not only fine-tune your draft but serve as lessons that stick with you and make you a better writer overall. I highly recommend her if you want to take your writing to the next level." — Monica Macer, staff writer Prison Break and Lost; former creative executive Disney Studios
