“The One Book to master them all. It’s most likely the best book on writing I’ve seen bar none, and not just on screenwriting either. The information in the book is inexhaustible and worthy on many levels. He also uses every piece of advice he gives, and is quite original in doing so, with a very original way to teach. If you’re looking for “the” book on screenwriting, or writing in general, this book will take your efforts from the amateur realms and launch it into the next level and bolster a real sense of skill and professionalism that it may have been lacking.”
Steffan Piper
“In a nutshell: Jeff Kitchen’s materials bridge the gap between story theory and writing practice in a way that’s light years beyond anything else of which I’m aware.”
R. Roden
“I can’t imagine trying to tell a story without referring to Joseph Campbell (and Chris Vogler) and I can’t imagine trying to craft a screenplay without referring to Jeff Kitchen."
Dirk Walvoord
"I've read most of the scriptwriting books out there. This one is different, it focuses on closing that "knowing-doing" gap that most people struggle with in a very simple way. It's as if the reader has been invited to pull up a chair alongside Jeff Kitchen's desk and watch him work. It's pretty amazing. All aspiring writers, and screenwriters, should read this book and allow the author to coach you to success in understanding the value of Dilemma, and how to utilize it in your writing."
