Scriptwriting for Web Series Reviews

"This book really takes the writer through the process from the seed of an idea right through production, distribution, and marketing. I am amazed at how much information the authors packed into such a small amount of space."

Martie Cook, Professor, Founding Director of the Center of Comedic Arts, Emerson College

"The book was written by three folks who know from experience what they are talking about, and they clearly want to share that with the reader. I think this is going to be a must-read for any class dealing with episodic writing and the new media revolution."

Richard Endacott, Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film, University of Nebraska-Lincoln

"The important aspect of this book is . . . the blend of traditional story structure skills with heart, soul, conflict, and imagination residing in the discipline required to make the transformation from notions in artists heads to actual practical projects."

Richard Walter, Professor Emeritus, Former Co-Chairman of Graduate Screenwriting, UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television
