“At last, someone has written a book that thoroughly explains how to read and evaluate a screenplay right! But that’s not all. Rydall even shows you how to make a good living doing it! This book could quite possibly revolutionize film development in Hollywood!”

-- Barry Perelman, Agent

"While this book clears the path for thos e wanting to become screenplay consultants, it's equally as valuable for thos e who want to blaze a hot trail to Hollywood as a screenwriter, giving insights on the value of a consultation and how a consultant can help clarify, enhance, and take your project to a higher level once you type in that last "fade out" -- Rydall's book is sure to be a welcome addition to a Scriptwriter's bookshelf!"

-- Kathie Fong Yoneda, Consultant, seminar leader, former development exec ( Touchstone, Disney, Island Pictures), and author of THE screenplay-SELLING GAME:  A Hollywood Insider's Look At Getting Your screenplay Sold And Produced

“A solid screenwriting book! Rydall captures the behind-the-scenes world of screenplay consulting like no one else! I wish this book was around when I was first starting out.”

-- Katie Torpey – O’Sullivan , award-winning Screenwriter, FOX, Disney, FX, ABC, Saban, “The Perfect Man,” starring Hilary Duff.

 “Just like any great story, it’s all about making the invisible visible and making it look easy.  With great clarity and a ton of information, Mr. Rydall celebrates those unsung hero and heroine screenplay consultants who from the sidelines can make the difference between a sale or not.  Finally, a smart, thorough, comprehensive groundbreaking guide that demystifies the mystifying process of getting and giving professional feedback on a screenplay.”

-- Devorah Cutler-Rubenstein, CEO The screenplay Broker

“I see dozens of books of this type, and my attitude going in was, “Well, how is this one different?”  You know what?  It is different.  Really different. Derek Rydall's emphasis of two vital issues -- strategic analysis of the art of writing and competitive analysis of the business of advertising and marketing a screenplay -- make this much more valuable than the usual "how-to-do-it" books. I really like this book. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it!”--

-- Barbara Hiser, Emmy Award Winning Producer

"This book, with it's plethora of information and instruction, will become the "Bible" for everyon e who wants to be a screenplay consultant. What’s more, the scope of Derek's knowledge will inspire anyone who wants to be in the screenwriting business as well."
