This guide is ideal for first-time screenplay writers. The book is written like a recipe: the ingredients at the beginning (resources for readers to get together before writing) followed by the method (techniques on how to get writing and the steps to take to write a screenplay). Writing techniques are the same for any form of writing, whether it be a novel or a screenplay. Techniques include being in a quiet place, observing natural interaction between people, and 'writing what you know'.

The book is structured really well so readers can refer back to specific sections with ease, especially because the method is in order: starting with an idea, writing a logline, creating characters, writing dialogue. Then the book explains the structure of a screenplay, including stating exactly what the terms mean and when they are used. Finally, there are tips on how to work on drafts and building a routine to write, then requesting feedback.
