"I truly appreciate how you simplify complex concepts. Dealing with learning disabilities for quite some time, I am currently undertaking the task of writing a movie screenplay, and I find your information to be priceless. Thank you so much. At 55 years old, I've never ventured into writing anything like what I'm currently working on, and I find the experience incredibly therapeutic. Thank you for sharing!"

I would love to connect if possible

This video is what prompted me to buy your book off of Amazon. It will be here tomorrow. Can't wait! I have a first draft 100 page true story of who Obama really is and will be sending it to you, with money, for an evaluation as soon as it is as perfect as I, a novice screenwriter, can get it. He is actually from Harlem, Clewiston, Florida and is the son of Thomas B Owens, Sr (the original Zodiac Killer subject). I hope you don't mind given the subject material.

Thank you! I'm at Full Sail and our number one textbook in the Creative Writing for Entertainment curriculum is Dr. Format's (Mr. Trottier's) "The Screenwriter's Bible". I don't see how any beginning screenwriter can live without it. Thank you.
