Book Reviews of The 101 Habits of Highly Successful Screenwriters: Insider's Secrets from Hollywood's Top Writers
Book Review: Worth reading if you're dreaming of writing anything
Summary: 4 Stars
Starts with a narrative of each screenwriters bio and how they got into screenwriting. Then the book is broken down by topic with each writers response to each topic. This is a good way to analysis successful habits and get a cross-section of personal habits. Cuts through the gloss and gives you a naked view of the grueling hard work that creates success. But something clicked inside me and I started writing.

Summary of The 101 Habits of Highly Successful Screenwriters: Insider's Secrets from Hollywood's Top Writers
Aspiring screenwriters don't need another book on how to write a screenplay, says Karl Iglesias. What they need is a book on how to be a screenwriter. Voil?: The 101 Habits of Highly Successful Screenwriters, featuring interviews with 14 screenwriters, arranged by subject. The result reads like a panel discussion, touching on such subjects as collaboration, schmoozing, discipline, Hollywood, and story pitching. The dream of winning a Hollywood jackpot has lured everyone and his gardener into the screenwriting game. Still, despite the unencouraging odds, "all you need to do is write a good script," says Scott Rosenberg (Beautiful Girls). Some of the book's best advice concerns one of the screenwriter's most formidable hurdles: getting a screenplay read. Submit it to film festivals and screenwriting competitions, or follow Tom Schulman's (Dead Poet's Society) advice and hire an entertainment attorney. After all, "most of them know a lot of agents." --Jane SteinbergBook Subjects
