I am not a screenwriter and have no experience in the film industry, but I might be interested in screenwriting in the future and was curious to learn more. This book was a fast read since I wasn't stopping to take notes, but I would certainly go back through it carefully and do each of the things she advised if I were trying to sell a screenplay. It was an interesting look into some behind-the-scenes work of the film world, and it looked to me like she had good advice for beginners.
