"Screenwriting for Teens is not just for teens; anyone interested in learning more about screenwriting will find this helpful, whether youre fifteen or fifty. It's format makes it easy to read, while relevant examples and helpful resources aid in comprehension, and will make this book one you can continue to use long after the initial reading. This would also be an excellent as a textbook for a high school screenwriting class." - www.microfilmmaker.com For any writer looking for a different approach, this book offers dozens of possibilities true and tested principles which millions of writers in the past have employed unconsciously, myself included. John Collee, Screenwriter, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World "This priceless jewel harbors the treasured secrets of how great screenplays are written and jumpstarts your writing career with clear and truthful insight. It gives you a significant edge over other writers in this very competitive market. Buy two copies so that when one copy is worn out from constant use and reference, you still have a spare. Jennifer Farmer, Director, Producer, Pumpkin Man, Naturally Native, Boomerang, Patience Christina Hamletts book is a marvel of clarity and helpfulness. Always simple, never simplistic: Complex topics are succinctly set forth at a level that todays sophisticated teens can easily understand, but never with a hint of condescension. Screenwriting for Teens shows a keen understanding both of the topic of screenwriting and of the unique needs of the audience to which it is targeted. I recommend it highly for anyone teen OR adult who wants not simply to play at making movies, but to create quality, cinematic art. Robert Parker, MM, DMA (High-School Teacher since 1985)
