Press Reviews:
""One of the best Screenwriting books of all time" - BookAuthority

"There are so many books on screenwriting. Although many of them offer tips on structure, and development,few books deliver the information into something digestible for aspiring writers. Most books can leave people feeling more confused than when they started.
The Guide for Every Screenwriter is one of the most efficient instruction manuals on the craft.
Geoffrey D. Calhoun cuts past the verbose film school expository, and gets straight to work, delivering a sample-driven checklist that anyone can follow. What's remarkable about this book is how quick it is to apply to your work. It serves as a side-by-side checklist for the writing process.
I recommend this book to anyone looking to write a screenplay, and to any professional needing a refresher."
- Kelly Schwarze, Emmy Award Winning Director

"This is the book I wish I'd read ten years ago! A no nonsense, straightforward, and vital easy to follow guide for screenwriters both new and experienced.This is my new go-to guide for all things screenwriting. You better believe it'll be close by from now on."
- Cat Connor, Author of the Byte Series

"I read The Guide for Every Screenwriter in one sitting. Geoffrey D. Calhoun's book provides insight any storyteller,not just screenwriter, can use. The guide had me thinking about my script and inspired me to write within the first ten pages.
What makes this book elemental for a writer is the specific simple framing of an extraordinarily complex process. Everyone has bits of their movie in their head... for those of us still learning the craft, it's easy to let a story overwhelm us and lead to failure.Geoffrey's book reaches down and provides accomplishable steps to not only get past the pitfalls, but also profoundly improve a great idea into a wonderful one."
- Pete A. Turner, Host of the Break It Down Show
