About the Book

Everyone who has ever thought about writing or working in Hollywood will want to read this book. These are the personal and often outrageous adventures of a veteran screenwriter who has worked extensively for the major studios, as well as with major directors such as Richard Donner and James Cameron. There are abundant writing lessons to be learned here, but "life" lessons, as well. In fact, this story is about "getting over" Hollywood, more than just "getting into" Hollywood. Readers looking past the material or superficial (e.g., celebrity) for something more meaningful in their lives, will find this book truly uplifting.

"If you’re thinking of being a screenwriter, jamming all your possessions into a subcompact and driving cross-country, then it behooves you to read Carter’s experiences."

Tim Clifton—Renaissance Magazine
