About the Book:
Selling Your Story Without a Script....
The most commonly heard phrase in Hollywood is not "Let's do lunch." In reality, you'll more often hear: "Okay, send me a treatment."
A treatment — the snapshot of your feature film or TV script — reveals your story's structure, introduces your characters and hooks and is often your first, and only, opportunity to pitch your project.
There are dozens of books on how to write a screenplay. Writing the Killer Treatment by Michael Halperin is the only book that takes you through the complete process of creating treatments that sell. Writing the Killer Treatment includes: developing believable characters and story structure; understanding the distinctions between treatments for screenplays, adaptations, sitcoms, TV movies, episodic television and soaps; useful exercises that will help you improve your craft as a writer; insightful interviews with Oscar and Emmy winners; tips and query letters for finding an agent and/or a producer; and What Every Writer Needs to Know from the Writers Guild of America, West.
What people say:
"At last — someone wrote the book every screenwriter has needed for years. It can make the difference between success and failure in the industry." — Linda Seger, author of Making a Good Script Great and From Script to Screen
