ADVANCE BLURBS FOR STORY LINE 

"This book is imminently readable...like peeking into someone's diary and learning something about yourself.  Jen's passion for screenwriting, writers and stories is palpable. It's like therapy and graduate school wrapped into one delicious "how to guide."

 

Jackie de Crinis, Senior Program Executive

USA Network

 

"Jennifer Grisanti has spent her entire professional life around writers and writing. Her new book is nothing less than an instruction manual, written from her unique perspective as a creative executive that seeks to teach neophyte writers how to access their own experiences as fuel for their television and motion picture scripts. It aspires to be for writers, what "the Method" is for actors."

 

Glenn Gordon Caron, Writer/Creator
