Great!:
This book provides an excellent step by step approach to the rewrite process. No matter how good your script is, this will improve it or confirm that it is as good as you think it is.
Paul is the man to see.:
I began studying screenwriting by taking Robert McKee's Story course back in '04. While it was a good introduction to the craft generally (maybe "academically" is a better word), Paul Chitlik's course in the UCLA extension program really got me started on the road to becoming a professional. Paul goes straight to the heart of the process from the very first session of class, and holds a true line to the end. I was fortunate to be a runner up in the UCLA Screenwriting Contest in 2007 with a story I wrote for... more info
One of the Best!:
The title of this book is "Rewrite" but save yourself a lot of work and read this book BEFORE you start your next script. Paul Chitlik is an amazing instructor at UCLA (under his tutelage, my second screenplay ever went on to win the prestigious UCLA Professional Screenwriting Contest) and he has distilled his teachings into this concise yet comprehensive book. This book is a "must have" for any screenwriter. I have a feeling that I'll be rereading it every time I finish a rough draft.
A beacon for writers:
As a screenwriter and a professional editor and writing coach, I highly recommend this book. It has already helped me personally in a quick turnaround re-write I needed to do. The book provides clear guidance while not prescribing formulaic cliches. The examples are excellent and the information invaluable. Chiltlik strikes a balanced tone of the work required in rewriting and the humor required in getting oneself to do the work. A true gem of a book.
