Screenwriting Books - 5 Suggested Resources

There are thousands of different screenwriting books in the world. Here is a glimpse at 5 screenwriting books that my USC students have read and found useful: * The 101 Habits of Highly Successful Screenwriters: Insider Secrets from Hollywood's Top Writers.

* Lew Hunter's Screenwriting 434: The Industry's Premier Teacher Reveals the Secrets of the Successful Screenplay. Lew Hunter has written this book to provide people with a look at basic rules of screenplays today and throughout history. This would help people understand them before they start changing or breaking them.

* Pitching Hollywood: How to Sell Your TV and Movie Ideas. This book is Written by two producers and pitchmen. Jonathan Koch and Robert Kosberg teamed up with Tanya Meurer Norman to create this book about how to pitch ideas successfully.

Of course there are many more screenwriting books that are out there. You might as well find some useful which aren't listed here.
