I LIKED IT, DIDN’T LOVE IT
(SCREENPLAY DEVELOPMENT FROM THE INSIDE OUT)

Newly Revised 2nd Edition
By Rona Edwards & Monika Skerbelis

"I liked it, didn't love it." It's the most often heard line in Hollywood. And you'll hear it when studio honchos pass on your screenplays or projects. Join Edwards & Skerbelis as they pull the covers back for an up close look inside the Hollywood system with their newly revised critically acclaimed book, “I Liked it, Didn’t Love It (Screenplay Development From the Inside Out).”

"I loved it (didn't just like it). This book literally explains everything an aspiring screenwriter or filmmaker needs to know, and in a way that's constructive, specific, and consistently interesting to read. Rona and Monika have a voice that engages you without being patronizing, that informs you without being stodgy, that enlightens you without being over your head. I wish this book had been around when I was starting out - it would have saved me years."
--David Madden, Executive Vice President, 20th Century Fox Television Studios, Producer (Save the Last Dance, Something The Lord Made)

What happens to a screenplay when it's submitted to a studio? Who are the studio players? What's the difference between an agent and a manager? What exactly does a creative development exec do? How does the writer and producer work within the studio development process? All this and more is answered by Edwards & Skerbelis.
