Anton Schettini's "Breaking Into TV Writing" is a must-read for anyone serious about a TV writing career. This book isn't about just writing scripts; it's the practical guide to getting hired and working in Hollywood.
Schettini delivers honest, actionable advice on everything from landing key assistant jobs to navigating the writers' room. He shares insider knowledge that most books miss, making the complex industry feel understandable.
As a cinema student, this book was incredibly helpful, taught me so many things about writing and I am so thankful I got to read it.
I definitely recommend reading it, you may learn a thing or two, who knows?

This book was both an interesting and practical guide to the process of both writing for TV and also working within the industry. Insightful and helpful.

A book full of genuine advice and, above all, a realistic take on the life of a screenwriter. I appreciated the anecdotes, which are always useful in illustrating the points made, and the precise explanations about who does what and how. A book that addresses many aspects without any taboos. A must-have for those who truly want to embark on this career.

This was a very useful and informative read! I have recently been taking screenwriting workshop classes and found this companion read as immensely helpful. There are many does and don’ts that are shared by professors and peers with experience in the entertainment industry, but seeing another perspective really does open your eyes to other possibilities. I highly recommend this read for any aspiring screenwriter hoping to break into the industry.
