Review: Write your blockbuster Hollywood movie script by following this simple guide book! - If you’re serious about writing a properly formatted feature film script that adheres to the classic three-act structure, Syd Field’s "The Screenwriter’s Workbook" is an absolute must-have. I recently used this book to refresh my skills and it was instrumental in helping me craft a well-structured feature screenplay. What sets this book apart is how it breaks down the screenwriting process into manageable, actionable steps. Field walks you through developing and tracking all the essential narrative points with clarity and precision. From character arcs to the inciting incident, every story point is laid out in a way that’s easy to follow and implement. I particularly appreciated how he correlates each major story element to its proper page number—this was a game changer for ensuring my act breaks landed exactly where they should. The workbook format is incredibly practical. It’s not just theory—you’re actively applying what you learn as you go. For example, I found it immensely helpful for mapping out my inciting incident, structuring my act breaks, and organizing my ideas into a cohesive whole. By the time I finished the exercises, I had a fully developed screenplay outline that adhered to the traditional structure without feeling formulaic. What I also loved about this book is that it doesn’t just teach structure—it helps you understand why structure matters and how it enhances your storytelling. Field’s insights on character development and plot pacing were invaluable for making my script not just functional, but engaging. If you’re looking for a step-by-step guide to get your ideas out of your head and onto the page in a professional, industry-standard format, this book is perfect. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned writer looking for a refresher, "The Screenwriter’s Workbook" is an incredible tool to have in your arsenal. Highly recommend to anyone ready to take their screenwriting to the next level!
Review: Easy to read, sensible tips for beginners - I had my story and notes nearly complete when I started this and there wasn’t anything totally surprising in his advice. It DID tell me I was on the right track and gave me the motivation to write until I got to The End. A few people, including someone I don’t know, all gave me great reviews so I’m hoping to get it into the right hands so it gets made. I’m working on another script so I might reread it just to make sure I do the best I can with this one too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clearly written instructions on how to write a screenplay by a great and successful master of writing screenplays.
*by M***H on February 3, 2018*

I wanted a clear and specific book to learn the steps of writing screenplays, ordered this book and I am so happy with it. Syd Field lays out very clear directions on how to write a screenplay. He gives you exercises to practice and homework such as watching movies to try to break them down into the format he lays out for you. He repeatedly states that you have to really stick to it in order to work through to a finished product, being frank that many people’s good ideas for screenplays aren’t realized primarily because they aren’t determined enough. I like that he lays things out so clearly and emphasizes that it really requires tenacity, preparing you mentally as part of the “how-to” write a screenplay. It is a book you need to read cover to cover, don’t cheat yourself by skipping around thinking you can take bits and pieces. All the instructions you need to write a screenplay are right here, written by someone who has worked in Hollywood and written many great movies.
