'Of course I'm starting my screenplay. I'm just going to Hoover the stairs first.'
If you are at all interested in the nuts and bolts of story-telling and the curious workings of the entertainment industry, then this is the most informative, inspiring and funniest book on writing you will ever read, by someone who's been nominated for every showbiz award going (and then lost them all).
Covering four decades in an ever-changing industry, John O'Farrell shares his writing journey from unsolicited radio sketches to huge Broadway musicals, crafting stories that have made people laugh, cry or sneak out to the pub in the interval. Here he reveals the inside secrets of every genre from sketches to sitcoms, novels to screenplays - as John kept swapping industries just before they noticed the missing Post-It Notes.
Maybe If I Changed The Font? is packed with invaluable advice on structure, character, theme as well as guidance on how to get your work read by professionals and produced to great acclaim from millions - or maybe just several members of your family - you never know which way it's going to go. But you must read this book before you start - it's the perfect avoidance.
