This unusual screenwriting book is a tapestry of fresh, insightful essays and in-depth interviews with top screenwriters. The essays cover such topics as avoiding the obvious, the birth of ideas, the process of rewriting, dealing with writer's block, creativity and spontaneity, handling rejection, breaking the screenwriting 'rules', and episodic forms.

Interspersed with Froug’s practical guidance are interviews with screenwriters, ranging from successes such as Larry Gelbart, Frank Darabont and Merchant-Ivory screenwriter Ruth Prawer Jhabvala to those whose experience of the movie industry has been far less kind. These play as fireside chats between friends and peers – whilst the matey tone might be offputting it allows Froug to amplify points he’s made by providing practical, unpatronising examples of his advice.
Whilst the focus is obviously on writing and constructing screenplays (and even marketing them, though given this book’s nearly 20 years old it should be borne in mind that technology’s changed the game a little) there’s plenty of solid storytelling advice for any writer here. The effect is to try and provide the budding writer with confidence to go ahead and actually write, with eyes open as to what a writing career might entail. Froug does not pose as a guru but as a helpful advisor. As a result this is a far better place to start looking for practical advice than those books concentrating on structure and plot beats to hit.
