Los Angeles, CA, June 05, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Do you have a writing “horror story?” Do you have two minutes? Tell your tale to top Hollywood screenwriters and win a free book.

Thursday, June 8, 4:30, at the Barnes & Noble at the Grove, some of Hollywood’s most acclaimed scribes will gather to read and sign their new book, Doing It For Money: The Agony and Ecstasy of Writing and Surviving in Hollywood (Tallfellow Press, ISBN 1-931290-58-X, $24.95, 288p, Hardcover, May).

Audience members will also get the chance to tell their worst writing “horror story” in two minutes to the panel. The best of the “worst” will win a free book.

Published in conjunction with the Writers Guild Foundation and lauded by Script Magazine as "a must-read for anyone working in or trying to break into the industry," Doing It features 48 top film and TV writers’ first-hand stories of working in Hollywood. It details everything from their highest of highs (“I gave scores of interviews 'til my head was spinning. I almost began to feel nostalgic for the many times on other movies when I was ignored." - Ted Tally, Silence of the Lambs) to their lowest of lows (“Then I went to the first screening and I wanted to... well, you know, slit my wrists while jumping out of the Empire State Building, after taking an overdose of sleeping pills, hoping to land in front of a bus going, say, 150 miles an hour." - Jim Kouf, National Treasure; Stakeout). What you'll read is guaranteed to either scare you away forever or confirm that you were truly meant to be a screenwriter.

It's a rare opportunity you can't afford to miss!
