Recently I was asked which screenwriting books would I want to have with me if I was on a island in the middle of nowhere. My response is below:
1) Save The Cat by Blake Snyder.
2) How To Make a Good Script Great by Linda Seger.
3) Screenplay by Syd Field.
I would also hope to have actual screenplays to read as samples and a copy of -
Clause By Clause by Stephen F. Breimer as this is the screenwriters legal guide.
Of course, an internet connection in an air-conditioned hotel near the beach with room service would be great.
Hey, nobody said it was a deserted island… lol
