"Thompson's suggestions to writers...are as practical as those given at the Robert McKee screenwriting seminars."
Baltimore Sun, July 9

Dear writer,

Writing a book is easy.  (Time consuming, but easy.)  Writing a book that sells...now that's the hard part.  Lights! Camera! Fiction! A Movie Lover's Guide to Writing a Novel is packed with the knowledge you need to write a book that sells.  And they are lessons you can learn by watching movies.  If you want to know specifically what you'll learn by reading Lights! Camera! Fiction! click here for a PREVIEW. (To order the book, click on the cover or the title on any page.) 

Want someone else to tell you it's worth your time to read the book or attend one of my workshops?  go HERE.

Take advantage of a month of free rental movies from NetFlix, to get the movies to watch while you read each chapter.

Check out my CREDITS to learn from some of the people and things I've learned from over the years and to find some valuable resources.

Read my articles and Quick Tips and Fixes to learn even more.  Take advantage of the writing forms that are in my book in printable form, HERE.

And don't forget to do the easy part:  sit down and write!

Alfie
