Screenwriter Blake Snyder has made millions of dollars selling screenplays to Hollywood. Here, he presents the rules for making your script more saleable, including: the four elements of every winning logline; the seven immutable laws of screenplay physics; the ten genres and why they're important to your movie; and more.

This fun-to-read insider's guide reveals the truth about what it takes to craft and sell a script. After a lucrative 20-year career that includes working with some of the top producers in Hollywood, Snyder opens up his notebooks and shows how he creates, develops, beats out and writes a screenplay that accommodates the business practices of the script buyers.
