How to Write a Screenplay That Doesn't Suck and Will Actually Sell

ScriptBully Book Series

By: Michael Rogan

Narrated by: Greg Zarcone

Want to learn how to write a screenplay that doesn't suck and can actually make you money? Want to know how to write a movie script that'll get you the attention of managers, agents, directors, actors - the talent of the industry? Think you got to go to film school and take out thousands of dollars in student loans to learn how to write a script that's marketable?

There are nearly 50,000 screenplays registered with the Writer's Guild every year. And 99 percent of them suck. But they don't have to. That's why I decided to write this book.

So before you head out to another hundred-dollar screenwriting conference to learn how to write a screenplay or buy another paint-by-the-numbers 3-act script formula give my audiobook a try. I can't guarantee you'll sell your script. (Who knows…you might just be that guy who sent me the zombie farmer script.) But I can guarantee if you follow the 10 steps outlined in this audiobook, you'll know more about the craft of screenwriting and the way the film business works then 99 percent of the writers out there. And having that kind of knowledge and wisdom can absolutely change your life.

This book doesn't suck

I've read a lot of screenwriting books. This gives the most practical advice, in a fun and direct way. Thank you, Michael Rogan.

Not bad, but...

This book great for beginners, however, more experienced screenwriters will find this as common knowledge.

Fantastic!

Well written and funny, I really enjoyed this delicious batch of script tips! Bravo to the author :)

The kickstart I needed

This very fast listen is a perfect launching board to get you writing. It's motivating and helps you figure out where to get started. Getting yourself to write is overwhelming as it is, and a lofty book about indentations and capitalization is just not what I needed at the moment. While it is short and sweet, it is still filled with some surprisingly good advice and you definitely walk away feeling like you learned something you needed to know. Thanks Michael!

informative entertaining and right to the point

I loved it!

no pretentious bullshit with this author thanks Michael you inspired me to start writing again.

quality information

I have purchased many books on screenwriting and this has some unique and very useful advice that I have not heard before.

Super entertaining

Loved the process and the thoroughness in this book. No fluff whatsoever. You will read it over and over.

Entertaining and worth a listen. You’re not gonna learn the format writing a script, you’ll get some solid insight.

I have a story I’ve been writing on for a little while, and I can’t decide if I wanna make it a screen play or a book. I downloaded this helpful Audible and clearly I should be writing a script instead of a book. So, now I will. If you think that this book is going to teach you how to write a script - as in the mechanics of the technique on paper. You’re in the wrong book. But if you want some insight and some charming antidotes, and some solid advice on how to get started, you’ve come to the right place. This is a very easy listen, entertaining, funny, and informative. Thanks for writing this. I might take you up on your suggestion and email to tell you how much I enjoy this. Thanx, again.

More greatness

Fun and informative. I've made it a point to read all Michael Rogans books on writing.

Just the kick in the ass I needed!

Really good book to help the person who has been procrastinating for months, years (or decades) to get that screenplay on the digital page. Very clear actionable steps to get your writing out of your head and into the hands of people who may do something with it. The narration fit the directness of the author. Great book.
