Description
The most commonly heard phrase in Hollywood is not "Let's do lunch." In reality, the expression you'll most often hear in production, studio, and agency offices is: "Okay, send me a treatment."
A treatment, which may range from one to several dozen pages, is the snapshot of your feature film or TV script. A treatment 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. This is the only book that takes you through the complete process of creating treatments that sell. It includes:
- Developing believable characters and story structure
- Understanding the distinctions between treatments for screenplays, adaptations, sitcoms, Movies of the Week, episodic television, and soaps
- Useful exercises that will help you develop your craft as a writer
- Insightful interviews with Oscar and Emmy winners
- Tips and query letters for finding an agent and/or a producer
- What Every Writer Needs to Know, from the Writers Guild of America, west
