Ordered it.
If it doesn't say failure to 'treat indie producers as Gods for whom you are prepared to work for free for the love of your art'
I'm sending it back.
ps have a listen to the jane bussman mark ellard pod on the writers guild site - she's funny pithy and angry, it's fun.
Peace.
You lovely people.
Book launch is at 6pm on Friday June tenth (10th) at the Wheatsheaf pub (upstairs), Rathbone Place W1. (just north of Tottenham Court hold in the ground). All welcome...will have a few copies at a slightly reduced price.
All welcome.
PS. Next How NOT to course is SAturday June 4th.
Just ordered my copy.
Won't be able to make it to the book launch unfortunately. Sorry Marc - just letting you know in case you want to cancel it. :-)
I just finished reading How Not To Write A Sitcom, and I found it to be extremely helpful, especially since it has torpedoed a few ideas I had (that I thought were original) in their current forms.
I'd strongly recommend it.

Not every unoriginal idea is wrong, maybe they just need working on a bit.
