Get
Paid to Write Movie Scripts
Think
back to last weekend. There is a good chance you saw a movie. If not at
the theater, then you rented a video or DVD, or caught
one on TV. Movies are one of America's favorite pastimes,
appealing to all ages and all tastes. And it doesn't stop at our shores.
Films are loved by people all over the world.

There
is a constant need for good movie scripts (also known as "screenplays")
to feed this demand, and somebody has to write them. As a screenwriter
you
can develop those daring stunts, decide how the lovers will meet, create
alien worlds and come up with the lines that leave 'em rolling in the aisles.
You could even adapt a favorite book for the screen.
Your
work can bring enjoyment to millions, and acclaim to you.
If you make it to the top, you could hang out in Hollywood, hobnob
with movie stars, attend film festivals, go to premiers and maybe even
win awards. All that and you get to work at home, be your
own boss and make your own hours!
Writing
screenplays is one of the highest paying jobs a writer can do.
In the 1990s, Joe Esterhaus made headlines when he earned $3
million for writing Basic Instinct. Since then, screenwriters
have gone on to earn fees that previous generations could only have dreamed
of.
It
doesn't stop there. A successful screenwriter can write his or her
own ticket in show business. Many go on to direct, produce,
even act in their screenplays.
The
story of how Sylvester Stallone wrote the Rocky movies for
himself to star in is now legendary. Spike Lee, Woody Allen,
Quentin
Tarantino, Oliver Stone and Cameron Crowe are other examples
of writers who maintain creative control over their own work.

Screenwriting
can also be a great way to collaborate with others in a dynamic and creative
atmosphere. For example, Karen Lutz and Kirsten Smith wrote
the recent hit Legally Blonde together because both had a fondness
for teen movies, while Ben Affleck and Matt Damon won an Oscar for their collaboration
on the screenplay for Good Will Hunting.
If
you would like to break into this exciting career, the
FabJob Guide to Become a Screenwriter is
for you! In this e-book you will discover how you can get
started and succeed as a screenwriter.
The

"I purchased
the FabJob Guide to Become a
Screenwriter in September. I found it
very informative and a very
easy read. I
found my passion for
screenwriting after reading
the guide, so much so that I
completed my first spec
screenplay, an
action/adventure thriller, in
May, which is now
in the hands of a
literary management and
production company based
in LA. Thanks for
helping me find and pursue
my passion."

"We all know that for every Joe Esterhaus who made $3 million for writing "Basic Instinct,"
there are thousands of people who never sell their scripts at all. But this author has walked the walk, and in this guide she really talks the
talk. Two of her screenplays, written on spec, are now under development at
major studios; Twentieth Century Fox bought one of them for $360,000.
In
"Become a Screenwriter," she's shared her knowledge in a compact,
easy-to-read format that should become the Bible of every fledgling
screenwriter. Her section on submitting scripts to big
studios versus independent production companies is great; her section on how to pitch a script is even better. And when all else fails, she provides
alternative ways to "break in."
So here's the answer to the question all budding screenwriters want to know:
is this guide worth it? You bet your life it is. It's so jam-packed with
information that it's a steal at twice the price. In fact, armed with this
book, you actually may be hobnobbing with movie stars before you know it!"
