Screenwriting techniques
"The writer receives guidance and tips at every stage of the often intimidating writing process with a relaxed, ""ten minutes at a time"" method that focuses the writer and pushes him or her forward. At each step, writers are encouraged to ""Take Ten"" and tackle an element of their script using the templates and tools provided. ""What You've Accomplished"" sections help writers review their progress. And ""Ten-Minute Lectures"" distill and demystify old school theory, allowing the writer to unblock and get writing."

Reviews for The Coffee Break Screenwriter: Writing Your Script Ten Minutes at a Time

"Praise for Pilar Alessandra and The Coffee Break Screenwriter ""This book teaches you how to turn a brilliant idea into a tangible product. Whenever I sit down to write something substantial, I refer to my crumpled-up, old Pilar notes."" --Ben Mekler, head writer, Nerdist Industries ""Pilar Alessandra's screenwriting techniques are among the most valuable I've ever come across. She takes a systematic approach to every step of the process, carefully guiding the writer from concept to final draft."" --Chris Sparling, writer, Buried ""Writing a screenplay can be like waging a war. It's you versus the blank page. This book is like a strategic field guide about the art of war, so keep it handy the next time you type FADE IN."" --Jeff Portnoy, literary manager, Bellevue Productions; former head of story at Resolution Talent Agency and staff reader at Creative Artists Agency"
