Without doubt the best aid to writing a script and selling it that you are going to find. 'Stunning, concise and yet complete'. And i havent even read it yet. If Jennifer Lerch is still a 'Reader' then i would just like to add that she is undoubtedly a woman of immense outer & inner beauty, charm and wit. And would she like to read my script?

Essential, reliable, insider knowledge

The majority of authors who claim to be able to teach you how to write a great screenplay are utter charlatans. You can tell this by seeing how many oscar winning, $100m dollar grossing screenplays they've written. The answer is usually nil, William Goldman being the honorable exception. This is another great exception. Jennifer Lerch is an insider who offers great advice ideally targeted for getting results. She keeps the book focused on the most important thing in screenwriting, the audience. And the most important audience you'll have is the reader. There isn't a superfluous word from start to finish and there isn't a single duff piece of advice either. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

I have written several screenplays that I now realize are TOTAL AMATEUR JUNK, thanks to this book. I am, in fact, embarrassed that I have sent copies of my work to professionals without knowing the basic tips that Jennifer Lerch includes in her new Bible for Screenwriters -- 500 WAYS TO BEAT THE HOLLYWOOD READER. Now, I know we've all wanted to beat a Hollywood reader before -- like, WITH A STICK! But now we should get down on our hands and knees and worship at this woman's feet, her book is THAT GOOD. From tip one to five hundred, I read this how-to in ONE SITTING! I now flip through as I'm rewriting my script -- I'm not even halfway through my new draft, and I'm floored at how much better my writing already is. I'm realistic, and my script may not sell, but THIS BOOK SHOULD -- to every wannabe out there. You won't be a wannabe for long. Hey, from some of the movies I've seen of late, you pros should pick up a copy too!

Essential reading for both screenwriters and readers!

Jennifer Lerch's "500 Ways to Beat the Hollywood Script Reader" has de-mystified what I have been doing both in my own writing and as a professional reader for the past eight years. The author has wittily and concisely distilled the process through which finished scripts go (behind the scenes, at agencies and studios) and has at the same time led her audience down the path to writing a commercial script which will please the all-important reader. "500 Ways" is a must for the library of any aspiring or current Hollywood screenwriter.
