EAGLE PUBLISHING WRITES NEW CHAPTER WITH FINAL DRAFT
May 18, 2004 – Hollywood, CA
Final Draft, Inc., makers of the world’s best selling screenwriting
software have teamed with Lone Eagle Publishing, one of the premier
publishing companies servicing the entertainment community, to
release the new trade book entitled Final Draft Presents Ask the
Pros: Screenwriting, 101 Questions Answered by Industry Professionals.
The book, edited by Howard Meibach, founder of www.hollywoodlitsales.com,
and screenwriter/director Paul Duran contains questions and answers
from top studio and television executives, literary agents, managers,
script consultants, producers and produced screenwriters to answer
the most important questions on the minds of developing and emerging
screenwriters. Professionals from ICM, UTA, Writers & Artists
Group International; DreamWorks, MGM, Paramount, and many more take
the time to stop and answer your questions. Our experts will tell
the reader what's right and what's wrong with a screenplay -- and
offer ways to fix it. Our experts are tough; they tell you what
you need to hear rather than what you want to hear.
“Tapping into the book publishing world is an extension
of our larger strategy to reach new writers in all mediums without
forgetting about our core audience of aspiring and professional
screenwriters,” said Final Draft’ s President and
CEO, Marc Madnick. “We look forward to a continuing relationship
with Lone Eagle and are excited about partnering on future Final
Draft books.”
Jeff Black, head of publishing at Lone Eagle Publishing, states,
“There is a direct connection between our line of titles
for writers and screenwriting software. By leveraging each of
our constituencies, we will be able to present a multitude of
product to the broad writing community. Our new release will empower
the screenwriter to not only improve their writing but to provide
access at the highest level to industry professionals they may
not otherwise have a chance to meet. In a way, the new release
can be thought of as one of those two-day, $250 screenwriting
conferences that can be taken home and referenced many times over.”
