How To Write Everything is the ultimate writer’s handbook. It tells you about every aspect of writing, from having an idea to getting the idea out into the world (and getting paid for it too). It covers everything from journalism to screen-writing, from speeches to sketches, from sitcoms to novels. With thirty years' experience as an award-winning script-writer, journalist, author and broadcaster David Quantick is ideally suited, as a writer, to write this definitive writer's guide to writing… everything.

Quotes

  • Soliloquios Literarioshas quoted4 years ago
    Short version of the last three paragraphs; if you want to make films, do so. Don’t mess about with telly and so forth. Make friends, learn stuff, make films.
  • Soliloquios Literarioshas quoted4 years ago
    If I was eighteen and thought I could write better films than the ones I’ve seen, what should I do?

    If you think you can write you definitely should try writing and learn by your mistakes and failures. I met Anthony Burgess when I was a teenager and he described writing as akin to a muscle that needs to be exercised regularly – so start exercising.
  • Soliloquios Literarioshas quoted4 years ago
    What do you look for in a script?

    I should say something that will excite the public and make me loads of money. However as I usually end up working on a film for five to seven years (if it gets made!) any script would have to move me, make me laugh or get a response. I have to know I will like it five years from the original read.
