I have read at least 10 screenwriting books before and while I was
writing my first script.
without a doubt this one helped me the most
If you want to write a screenplay - this book is all you really need.

I'm very new to screenwriting. I like the step by step guide and instructions the book gives. I just purchased the book a few weeks ago and I'm already working on my draft. This is a great book for beginners I would recommend to anyone!!
The Only Book You Need May 29, 2009

Whenever someone asks which book they should buy to learn about screenwriting, I always say The Screenwriter's Bible. It is the book that helped me break into the business and I cannot recommend another.
Let's face it. If you know how to tell a story then you're half way there. If you don't know how to tell a story then this book isn't going to help at all. This book is about structure and fine tuning your skills. It isn't about helping Joey Wannabe become a million dollar screenwriter even though he has never written one word in his life.
If you have the chops and you want to know what the industry is looking for in a screenplay (speaking of course about format) then this is the book for you. Don't waste your time with another book.
Valuable and Clear Guide to the Art & Craft of Creating a Screenplay May 22, 2009
Thomas Gabriel (Solvang, CA United States)

The Screenwriter's Bible is more than advice, more than a compendium of rules and directions. This book breaks down the art and step-by-step process of writing a screenplay that works and has a chance of success in the market. What are the plot elements? What goes into making good characters, how are they created, and how do they work in a script? What is the step-by-step process, and how does it all come together? And when it's all done, how is the product formatted (right down to preferred fonts), how does one find and work with an agent, and how is it sold?
All this is in The Screenwriter's Bible, the information related with enthusiasm (and the insight of a professional) by David Trottier. Ever wondered how a script proceeds from idea to finished product to movie? This is a fascinating account of that process. Want to try your hand at it yourself (or are you already a screenwriter who would like some good insight into your craft)? This book is definitely something you want to check out.
Worth many times the price!
a must for new screenwriters May 11, 2009
A. Raspovic (Slovenia)
I learned a lot from this book about screenwriting. I don't have the time or space to elaborate but if you want to be a screenwriter this is a very wise investment.
