This book teaches readers how global trends define the marketplace for saleable screenplays in key international territories as well as the domestic market. Veteran writer, producer, and director Andrew Stevens gives you the insider edge you need to write for the global marketplace, sharing his decades of experience producing and financing everything from micro-budget independent films to major studio releases. In leveraging Stevensâ comprehensive experience, you will learn how to determine specific subject matter, genre, and story elements to make the most of international sales trends, and harness the power of these insider strategies to craft a screenplay that is poised to sell.

Industry Reviews

"Andrew Stevens is responsible for the careers of many new writers, producers and directors."

-Roger Corman, Oscar-winner, Legendary Independent Filmmaker/Producer

"Andrew's work is fantastic!"

-Jackie Collins, The New York Times Bestselling Novelist

"Screenwriting for Profit navigates through all the pitfalls a writer will experience in trying to sell their screenplay and takes the writer beyond the computer screen and into the real world of getting a script sold. Even the greatest script is worthless unless it has the potential to get made. Andrew lays out from idea to conception his insider knowledge that will help a writer go from novice to professional. Before a writer takes their first meeting, they should give Screenwriting for Profit a read."

-Peter M. Lenkov, Emmy Nominee, Writer/Executive Producer: Salvation, Hawaii Five-0, R.I.P.D., MacGyver, CSI: NY

"Great! It is different than other books that focus on the writer's process. I love that this book captures a salty, wise, practical tone, and it feels very refreshing. Chapter 15 alone is reason enough to buy this book and reason to recommend it to writers. I certainly wish I had read this before I headed to my first film market. I really enjoyed this work and I recommend it."

-Noah Workman, Partner, Iris MediaWorks

"A fantastic job! Andrew Stevens nailed it!"

-Richard Christian Matheson, Author/Producer: The A-Team, It Waits, Three O'Clock High

"Andrew's book is a valuable resource for any writer. I very much enjoyed the book and would have killed to have a resource like it when I was first starting out - it would have saved me a lot of time. There are lessons on story, structure, character and craft. In addition, the business - the business of writing and the business itself - is demystified in a way that pretty much draws a map from being a hobbyist to becoming a professional."

-Sean McGinly, Academy Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting semifinalist, Writer/Director: The Great Buck Howard
