 Promoting Your Screenplay October 30, 2009
Carolyn Kingsley
Syd Field's advice, as always, is excellent.I certainly intend to follow his suggestions, when the time arrives to promote my screenplay. All of his textbooks are intensely readable, which says alot for his writing skills. The dishes pile up, the bed doesn't get made, because I can't put the damn thing down. Nough said?
 Helpful if your serious about screenwriting May 4, 2009
Michele L. Coutu (The Harbor, WA)
This is a concise straight forward guide to everything from packaging your screenplay to getting and dealing with Agents. I have read so many books on this subject, but this one was well worth it.
 Screenwriters Avoid this Book October 18, 2007

4 out of 6 found this review helpful
I am a first time screenwriter and I read this book to get an Idea of whom and how to submit my script to. This book never addresses this at all. The majority of the book is discussing how impossible it is to get something read and or produced. When you finished reading this book you feel like the odds are so against you that it might be easier to finance and produce the movie yourself. Also, who the heck is Syd Field anyway? I went on IMDB and couldn't find a lick about him that is relative to the industry today. AVOID THIS BOOK. Negative vibes.
 A good place to start April 2, 2002

This is a good, solid introduction to selling your screenplay and finding an agent. There's nothing much here that isn't found in a lot of other books, but someone starting will find this really useful.
Syd Field CAN! April 7, 2000
Hunter MacKenzie (Beverly Hills, California)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I really can't understand the reviewer from Hollywood who says Syd Field can't. He CAN! And luckily for us he DOES! Syd Field is a creative consultant of many years standing who works on more than one thousand scripts per year and knows the industry inside and out--better than anyone now writing books on screenwriting! In this book, Syd shares his wealth of knowledge with us about how Hollywood works. Exactly how it works. And you have to know if you want to make it in this tough, competitive field. I've learned more from Syd's books than from all the other books on screenwriting combined. You can't go wrong with Syd, believe me! Thanks!
