After a brief reality check, and a bit of a pep talk, author Katherine Atwell Herbert gets down to business basics in Selling Scripts to Hollywood. This work is highly functional and almost utilitarian in presentation. But Ms. Herbert colors this down to earth approach with "Big Sisterly" advice derived from years of experience in the business. It is a lightning fast read at only 149 pages and every bit of that space is used effectively. The author is persistent. The liturgy is clean and direct. The refrain echoes throughout: Know your craft and know the business. There is also a wealth of reference material to move you beyond the written word towards action. This book is a compelling first step for the novice and a fresh breath for beginners, who have stumbled, unadvised, into the gaping maw of Hollywood.
