Abstract
: 
As many Hollywood hopefuls know, the most commonly used rejection line spewed by Hollywood studio executives when they do not buy a script is, "I liked it, didn't love it"--but what happens when the studio honchos like your script? What happens to your screenplay or novel when it is submitted to a studio or production company? What happens to it after it's optioned or sold? What does "in development" really mean? After being studio and development executives and selling their own screenplays, Edwards and Skerbelis are able to answer these elusive questions about the development process. --From publisher description.
