I am working writer working in Hollywood with actual credits. Everyone in Hollywood knows that Save the Cat book is baloney. Don't read books: read scripts.

The Screenplay Logline - It's Your Pitch Tool!
Julie, I hear you, and I congratulate you on being a working Hollywood writer with actual credits. However, as Vcelier said, I'm not a guru or pretending to be one. I encourage everyone to constructively pick apart anything I say in the hope of building something better. The fun is in the doing - encouraging people to pick up a pen and start. Nonetheless, with respect, you lost me with your "Save the Cat" comments. To suggest you speak for everyone in 'Hollywood' is absurd. You're entitled to your own opinion. But please don't insult us with your excessive pretentiousness. Good luck in your future endeavours.

I should say, don't read screenwriting books. By all means, read great works of fiction!

I agree on the great books but I also think it doesn't hurt to do both.

Eh, I'm a working screenwriter, and the Save the Cat book is pretty handy to understand the basics of structure. I always use the lingo from that book in my meetings, e.g. "All is Lost Moment", etc.
