This Week's Featured Book:

This Business of Screenwriting 

by 

Ron Suppa

"You're already a damned good writer. Now is as good a time as any to let the secret out. And who is going to do that? YOU, that's who. In the beginning at least, you must be the agent that gets you an agent, the manager that gets you noticed. It's as much your job as the writing itself."
