Useful advice from real life

Although this title refers to winning a screenwriting contest, it's effectively good advice for writing a good script generally. There are some specifics that apply to getting noticed in competitions, but the essence of it is insight from someone who's seen a lot of stories. It's nuanced also, rejecting some clichés and underlining others.

An intermediate to advanced writer would benefit from this book. Beginners, well they think they know it all.

Good job, Sean.
