DA BOOK
COLLABORATIVE SCREENWRITING was the inspiration for this website.
Testimonials:
If you want to be a mainstream professional writer, this book gives a solid foundation and lots of insights into how Hollywood works. But it also targets writers who color outside the lines, people with their own artistic vision. There’s a lot of focus on core creativity and unique storytellers that break new ground. It examines blockbusters, indie films, and hit shows that you never heard of because they were made in countries far away. As a writer, this will give you more tools, more lethal weaponry, and more ways to surprise your readers. It’s ninja training for screenwriters.

Gorillas in the Mist
This is a field that requires an encyclopaedic knowledge of the subject matter with a global perspective, and that’s exactly what this book provides. It is the most comprehensive book on screenwriting I’ve yet encountered.
Tom Musca – Writer / Producer – Stand and Deliver Head of MFA Screenwriting, University of Miami
As a film producer, I need to collaborate with writers effectively. This is the only book I’ve seen that tells writers and producers how to form effective creative teams. It tells how to develop stories, make creative decisions, solve story problems, plan out seasons and make movie magic as a group. This is essential information, especially if you are a writer who hopes to become a showrunner or creative executive in the future.
