Screenwriting Tip #99 Voice-over usually feels like scaffolding. You know-something you left in there when you were constructing the first draft, but really should have torn out after it served its purpose. Screenwriting Tip #120 Always remember that funny trumps everything. Your script could be written in crayon with your name spelled wrong on the cover, but if it's genuinely funny, none of that matters. Screenwriting Tip #156 The easiest way to write kick-ass protagonists is to make them incredibly good at what they do. Confused at the outline stage? Stuck in the swamp of Act Two? Don't know who your protagonist is or where she's going? You might feel like a hack. But don't worry-you're not alone. Even the most experienced writers feel like this at times. Sometimes we just need a few short pointers and reminders to set us on the path again. Xander Bennett worked as a script reader in the trenches of Hollywood, reading and covering hundreds of mediocre screenplays. After months of reading about heroic Sea World trainers, transgendered circus detectives and crime-fighting chupacabras, he couldn't take it any more. Xander started a blog called 'Screenwriting Tips, You Hack', a place designed to provide short, witty tips on screenwriting for amateur writers all the way up to journeymen scribes. This book is the evolution of that blog. Dozens of the best scripts (along with many brand-new ones) have been expanded into bite-sized chapters full of funny, insightful, highly usable advice. Let Xander's pain be your gain as you learn about the differences between film and television structure, how to force yourself to write when you really don't want to, and why you probably shouldn't base your first spec script around an alien invasion.

Stuart Welbourn worked as a Psychotherapist for 13 years after being medically discharged from the Royal Navy. In this book Stuart provides concise information on PTSD & various therapies which may be effective in its treatment. He includes a relaxation script created especially for this edition, & a guide to E.F.T. for the reader to use in the comfort of their own home, if they should choose to do so. There is also a Bonus section of 10 tips to improve your overall wellbeing, which are worth the price of the book alone. ""Stuart has accomplished a feat which no other could; he has written a book geared for the most macho of military men, right down to us civvies. The use of humour keeps the reader from being overwhelmed by negative thoughts and feelings. Stuart reminds you that you are neither 'broken nor damaged', because you have either experienced, witnessed, or both, some traumatic experience. He reassures you, life does get easier & you can manage and lessen the symptoms of your PTSD."" Maureen Scott
