## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ just what you need to know.
*by S***E on June 15, 2006*

I just finished my compulsive three-day read of "Crafty TV Writing" after following Epstein's blog for quite some time. The same things I like about his blog are totally on display here: straightforward, no-nonsense, right-to-the-point advice about every aspect of TV writing you can think of. He's got multiple audiences with this book: I imagine only a sliver of his readers are in a position to actually pitch pilots to important people, but there's still a ton to be gleaned about the techniques of episodic storytelling that are of use in a wide range of contexts - I picked up the book because I've been writing and developing episodic internet shows, for instance, and although I may never get to enjoy sitting in a professional writers' room, the insight into collaborative storytelling is quite valuable. Ultimately what I appreciate most about the book is that, like the best television, it's not pretentious; it acknowledges that television at its best is a wonderful art form, but it's also a craft, and frankly, it's also a day job for the people who are doing it right. Shed some romanticism and learn the nuts and bolts - that's what I appreciated most about this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recommended
*by D***L on December 2, 2015*

It's a good read for anyone interested in writing teleplays. A bit dated, but the information is excellent and well written in simple, declarative language the mind retains. He details the how-to brilliantly, and for the 'hungry' aspiring writer, it reads like a novel.Further, he doesn't pull any punches when it comes to the difficulty of becoming a staff writer. He emphasizes the quality of writing is always foremost but that a professional attitude toward improving the script and the production is highly prized. In production, cost dominates. He explains how a spec script must be appropriate to the series template; and, an original spec script must be high concept, cost conscious and well written.Included are appendixes on resources, contests, software, payments, samples, script pages, a glossary, notes and an index. In total, an insider's professional experience in the business.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent
*by C***R on February 26, 2007*

I've read many books on writing for film and television, and this is one of the best. What I like most about Alex Epstein's style is that it is immensely, if not compulsively, readable. His advice is practical and straightforward, and he approaches the topics in the book with a much appreciated playful sense of humor. There are books that are educational but pretentious and are a chore to go through, this book manages to be instructive and entertaining at the same time; it's a real gem. Highly recommended!
