Have you ever seen a bad movie and just KNEW you could do better?
Here's your opportunity to prove it! Maybe you could be the next Stephen King!
Most people know Stephen King as an author of horror classics. But Stephen King has recently produced a book about the business of writing, called "On Writing", in which he explains how he writes his novels.
He gives you a whole writer's "tool kit": a reading list, writing assignments, a corrected story, and nuts-and-bolts advice on dollars and cents, plot and character, the basic building block of the paragraph, and literary models. King shows what you can learn from H.P. Lovecraft's arcane vocabulary, Richard Dooling's obscenity, Hemingway's leanness, Grisham's authenticity, and Jonathan Kellerman's sentence fragments. He explains why 'Hart's War' is a great story marred by poor dialogue, and how the antidote could be Elmore Leonard's 'Be Cool.'
Another book essential for the aspiring screenwriter is "The Screenwriter's Bible" by David Trottier. This is the Complete Guide to Writing, Formatting, and Selling Your Script – it is a friendly walk through Hollywood, and is really six books in one: it's a screenwriting primer, a screenwriting workbook, a formatting guide, a spec writing guide, a sales and marketing guide, and a screenwriter's resource guide.
