Customer Reviews

Very Effective

Definitely get this book. It's very helpful, written in a beautifully conversational style, with lots of hints and tips from those in the industry. Also, incredibly practical and doesn't waste any time emphasizing that there's a big difference between just being an excellent writer and being a million-dollar screenwriter. Straight to the point, no glossing over the realities of the industry. I definitely enjoyed it.

Good book for learning how to be Motivated to write!

I enjoyed this wholesome book, a very good book for beginning screenplay writers. Each chapter has something interesting to say especially from famous screenplay writers and their point-of-view. Interesting perspective from an NYU screenplay writer professor!

A very cool read!

The conversational and entertaining tone of the interviews make you feel like you're sitting in a bar having drinks with these guys.

Practical Tips for Struggling Screenwriters

I enjoyed reading Cool Million. It's given me practical tips on how to write my own screenplay. At the moment I'm working on the screenplay based on my novel Different Flags, and Cool Million is helping me move forward with my project. I would love to see my well-reviewed novel on the big screen and Cool Million has given me the courage to pursue this goal. The book has advice from professional screenwriters and it even tells how to approach actors and directors who might be interested in my screenplay once it's finished. I recommend it.
