–Richard Walter, Professor and Screenwriting Chair, UCLA'; quotes[5]='Screenwriting has its rewards. Two in fact. One is financial. Many sell for six and even seven figures.

–Julius J. Epstein, Screenwriter, Casablanca In the Introduction to How to Write a Selling Screenplay'; quotes[6]='I have found Keane\'s book to be more helpful than Robert McKee\'s Story and Syd Field\'s Screenplay when starting out. Keane is very clear about the steps necessary to write a consistent, engaging script.

At the same time, Keane encourages the reader throughout the long and daunting process of writing and revising. I really enjoyed his list of recommended viewing and the way he refers back to these films throughout the book.

I used Keane\'s guide as a reference for writing my first feature film, which subsequently went into production. I also recommend his book to all my students at the film program I run at Harvard University.\"

–Valerie Weiss, Harvard Film Program'; quotes[7]='The important thing in writing is the capacity to astonish. Not shock - shock is a worn-out word - but astonish.\"

–Joseph Wambaugh, author and screenwriter'; quotes[9]='I love, and rely on, How To Write A Selling Screenplay. As an LA-based writer (and Emerson alum!), this is the only book I\'ve ever counted on. It was required reading in my Emerson classes, and I just recently got my hands on a new copy.

I\'ve been successfully writing animated cartoons for the past few years, which is completely different than screenwriting, so I was a bit rusty.

Getting this book again is a lifesaver, so thanks! I\'ll put it to good use and see where it takes me.\"

–Tom Krajewski'; quotes[10]='Writing is one of the few professions in which you can psychoanalyse yourself, get rid of hostilities and frustrations in public, and get paid for it.\"

–Octavia Butler'; quotes[11]='Many, many thanks to you for your fabulous Romancing the A-List. Even the first idea about character changed everything for me. I saw things I never saw before. Why are the simplest ideas the most difficult to discover on our own?

Your book was more than about writing a screenplay for me. It was about unleashing all the creativity inside your soul that makes writing a possibility. I am profoundly grateful to you. I love your style of writing; your teaching gift; your logic. I have taken your advice to write every day. I\'ve taken your advice on everything, truth be told.

More than anything, I love when a book reshapes and reforms every cell in your being. Your book did that, and I thank you for sharing your lifetime of experiences with me. God bless you, Mr. Keane.\"
