I also recommend Robert Towne and John Huston.<BR/><BR/>SeanSean Azulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02727241119098480778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4330571463336136815.post-27754732796543161122009-03-12T21:02:00.000-07:002009-03-12T21:02:00.000-07:00Most working screenwriters are guys.Most working screenwriters are guys.Bruce R Bartletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09151844421205476887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4330571463336136815.post-32225965781546953982009-02-08T07:06:00.000-08:002009-02-08T07:06:00.000-08:00I certainly agree with you about Shane Black and W...I certainly agree with you about Shane Black and William Goldman.

Make a plan, start at the beginning. Definitely will look into Shane Black. I notice a conspicuous absence of women screenwriters on the "list".
