Overview

This book will make your screenplay/TV Pilot better. Most screenwriting advice focuses on 'story' and downplays the importance of the emotional experience for the audience and the writer. This book explores what really matters - a writer's emotional connection with their script, and finding ways to engage an audience. If you can't make a group of strangers feel something, your story will fail. Every single time. In an honest, personal, at times blunt and funny style, this book reveals ways to harness your true power as a writer, create compelling characters, explore your unique emotional toolbox and connect your script with the people who matter most - your audience. If you have dreams of being paid to write screenplays or TV series, and want to deliver an entertaining, emotionally satisfying experience (which you absolutely should), you need to read this book.

"""Tim's approach is unlike anything you'll find in other screenwriting books - it's raw and honest - it serves as a great reminder of what matters most before you type FADE IN. This book is a great companion piece for all writers at any stage in their writing journey and it will give you the motivation and confidence you need to write authentic, emotional, and engaging stories that connect with an audience."" - Sadie Dean - Editor, Script Magazine ""The longer I do this job the more I'm convinced the most important thing you can do is forge an emotional connection between your audience and the characters as quickly as possible. Tim's book is insightful and often provocative in its mission to get writers to be more thoughtful about this crucial connection. It's filled with hard won wisdom from his own experience as a writer and reader, and supercharged with his passion for the craft."" - Mickey Fisher, Writer/Creator ""Extant"" (NBC), ""Reverie"" (NBC), ""Mars"" (Nat Geo),"
