After years of reading virtually every screenwriting book and attending a host of seminars, I can assure you there is nothing better for your career than this book.
Blake's imdb credits might not be your favorite films, but he is one of the few, if not the only, screenwriting authors who have sold anything much less gotten it made.
SAVE THE CAT SOFTWARE MOVIE
As for his resume, anyone who knows anything about screenwriting knows it's extremely difficult to sell a screenplay, even more difficult to get a movie made, and nearly impossible to have anything to do with the script once it leaves your hands and lands in the director's paws. It's not that he needs to change any of his advice (he definitely doesn't), but he is apparently taking the lessons taught in "Save the Cat" and showing how they apply to theatrical releases. That's because Blake's insight and humor will leave you wantting more from this author. But after you read this book, it's not the last book on screenwriting you'll ever want. Is it the last book on screenwriting you'll ever need? Probably. However, if you actually want to write a screenplay that earns you money, "Save the Cat" is where you should begin. If you want to write a screenplay that everyone loves and nobody buys, read something else. I am a screenwriter, and, yes, I actually make a living selling screenplays.
