Hi. My name's Rob Tobin. Please feel free to Google me and to IMDB me (http://imdb.com/name/nm2599619/).
I'm the author of "The Screenwriting Formula." Here's what Four-time Emmy Award Winner Sandy Frank recently said about "The Screenwriting Formula":
"Hi, Rob. I'm an experienced TV writer, and I've read many, many, many books about screenwriting. Your new book is by far the best I've ever read. Simple without being simplistic. Genius. Congratulations. I happened to watch "The Human Stain" this morning for the first time, and using your elements I figured out what's wrong with it within minutes. Amazing tools."
Part of the reason that even Emmy-award winning writers get great value from "The Screenwriting Formula" is that the book is based on my own experience.
I'm the former VP of the country's largest private screenwriting school, former development exec, author of two well-known screenwriting books, graduate of USC's prestigious professional writing Master's program, I've been flown around the country, Canada and Europe to give talks and workshops on screenwriting and, most importantly, I practice what I preach: my latest script is in pre-production with an a-list director and is already being spoken of around town as the "kind of script that gets nominated." It was written following the ideas and concepts in my own books.
Fortunately, my advice works for me as well as for multi-emmy winning writers and my other clients and readers!
"The Screenwriting Formula" isn't just for screenwriters, however: it's an invaluable tool for film execs, agents, directors and producers, helping them spot good scripts and work with writers to perfect those scripts BEFORE pitching them; thus increasing the chances of getting those projects greenlit, and of doing well at the box office once they are produced.
I strongly believe that "The Screenwriting Formula" may be the most important book any writer, film exec, producer, director or agent can have. Forget the trite rehashes of screenwriting theory, this book actually helps the readers become better screenwriters, execs, agents and/or directors!
"The Screenwriting Formula" is available on Amazon.com, Borders.com, Barnes and Noble.com, Writersstore.com, and at a bookstore near you.
Thank you.
Best,
Rob Tobin
