Writing Treatments that Sell
The treatment is a tool used by Hollywood writers to provide a
compelling overview of a story prior to writing or revising it. It’s as
useful as a marketing device as it is as a diagnostic tool, and some
treatments have even sold for millions of dollars. Based on his
bestselling book, Writing Treatments that Sell, Dr. Atchity will show
you what a treatment is and what you need to know about its essential
elements in order to add it immediately to your arsenal of professional
writing tools.
