Write It, Pitch It, Sell Your Screenplay

A Hollywood Buyer's Insider Guide to Getting Your Script Past the Gatekeepers

By: Donna Michelle Anderson

Narrated by: Donna Michelle Anderson

Authored by a former story analyst-turned-development executive, this newly revised, expanded, and updated edition of The 1-3-5 Story Structure Made Simple System guides screenwriters, producers, and other entertainment industry professionals through the industry's best practices. This includes writing, developing, pitching, and selling a screenplay from the buyer's point of view.

The highlights of this audiobook include:

• A step-by-step pitch formula that will speedily shift you into professional pitches
• A chapter on doing a weekend analysis to create coverage of your own script; and
• Many more updates and additions throughout the book

This book is about 33 percent bigger than the original 1-3-5 book, but it still makes story structure simple! Now, 10 years since the first release of The 1-3-5 Story Structure Made Simple System, the techniques are taught in media programs nationwide and this was the first story structure system integrated into Final Draft's industry-leading screenwriting software.

I tried

This is the first book that is hard to follow. The reading is monotonous, I see the writer is reading it but for me it doesn’t work.

Clear and Concise

DMA effectively covers the basic story and structure that any writer needs in order to complete a successful and compelling screenplay.

The only book you'll need for screenwriting

Throw all those other books away. This is a simple, clean way to write without being bogged down with too much information.
Follow these steps exactly and you will have a first draft soon enough.

This is a joke

This might be some of the worst advice I have ever read/listened to. This is terrible.
