Many times, we want to read a book that is entertaining, yet not too dramatic or violent. That is what bought by Anna David exactly does. It is a great read about Emma, a journalist, who doesn't really know what she wants in life until she decides do to an undercover story about high class prostitution in Hollywood.

Emma discovers that image isn't always everything, and that often times a manipulator may crumble at any moment. (See, I told you the book is good!). I am being general here because I don't want to spoil the plot or ending for you. ;)

If you buy book on May 19th you still have less than one hour if you are in the Central Standard Time Zone, you could win prizes from Anna David. Buy bought at
http://www.amazon.com/Bought-Novel-Anna-David/dp/0061669180/ref=tag_tdp_ptcn_edpp_url.

Buy bought coming out May 19th, and you could win a Starbucks Gift Card or even a Kindle. Go to author Anna David's: What to Do on May 19th, 2009 for more information.

How to Write for Television by Madeline DiMaggio is an excellent writing resource on television. Not only does she give personal examples of her experiences, she explains terms used in the writing for television field.

She doesn't sugar coat the television writing career. She shows the rewards and hardships of television writing. Experienced television writers can benefit from DiMaggio's book as well as a refresher reference.

I know that I will definitely use this book as I begin a try at screenwriting as a research this specific niche. (Can't tell you which niche until I am ready. lol) I am able to apply definitions of terms while I "study" television sitcoms and movies. I will keep referring to DiMaggio's book as I begin my screenwriting.

DiMaggio offers resources such as competitions, interviews and addresses.

For more information, you can go to Madeline DiMaggio.
