 This is a fantastic resource for any screenwriter. August 21, 1999
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
How do you know if you're getting a fair deal? How do you protect your original creation? And what does it mean when they tell you you're going to get a share of "Net Profits?" This is an invaluable resource for screenwriters. Stephen Breimer is an entertainment lawyer who really knows his stuff. It's great that he took the time to make this information available (for a lot less money than he'd charge for an hour of his time!). Screenwriters, don't be taken! Check it out (or better, buy it!).
Excellent book! June 20, 2008

As a budding screenwriter, I find this book helpful in a way that I can enrich myself with the knowledge that otherwise has to be earned through hours of lawyer's consulting fees. the
