ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book provides answers to a person's questions about the business of screenwriting, as well as details and little-known truths that a person has never heard before. Nobody said this career would be easy or fair or profitable—or would even make a lot of sense. The book shows that a person can pick and choose what to read when, at the pace that works best for a person. The book explains about the business of screenwriting. There are other books about craft that reinforce the tasks associated with developing skills and talents. Some interviews include topical questions and responses about how to approach specific goals and situations as a screenwriter, and others take a broader exploratory approach, with the interviewees sharing personal narratives.
