My most successful ("traditionally") project

Not a stage play, not a hyperdrama, not a novel ... but my 1997 electronic screenwriting tutorial. You can't argue with reviews like this, and I made a decent income from it during its heyday. Now I offer it free online. Trouble is, almost no one knows about it and I am too lazy to market it. But it remains, to my astonishment, one of a kind. A big corporation could have taken the concept and blown me out of the water. The folks at a major screenwriting program almost did but changed their mind.

Check it out.

How folks loved it! ...

Excerpts from reviews and letters about the book:

• "If you are interested in writing screenplays, I cannot recommend this course highly enough....For the first time (to my knowledge) the "book" is written for the way one works rather than expecting one to follow the author's suggested line of thought....I was prompted to go back and do further work on one of my screenplays which I had thought finished. How do you put a price on that? Charles has done a superb job compiling as much as one needs to know to write a screenplay. It is a trove of information and guidance. Just add your own story." Cam Eason, The Book Nook
• "the remarkable electronic book on Screenwriting...Screenwright has everything that you would expect in a well written screenwriting work book....Although there is plenty of meat in its twelve chapters, as a quick aide memoire it excels because you can so quickly access a piece of information at your desktop when you need it....Screenwright is a fresh approach to helping your screenwriting and one that deserves consideration from everyone starting out." John Hopson, Virtual Screenwriter at London Screenwriters Workshop
• "Especially for newcomers to screenwriting, Charles Deemer's book can help shorten a long and often painful learning curve. And what the heck -- maybe those of us who have managed to write a few scripts via the 'forest' method can soak up some of the best lessons of the 'trees.'" Si Dunn at Cyber Film School
• "The book is designed like a course, and takes the approach that the reader is basically a beginner. Every step is explained in detail, and nothing is over-looked. ... Screenwrightpresents a self-contained screenwriting course that anyone can use. It is structured unlike any other screenwriting book -- due mostly to the fact that it is an electronic (html) book." Christopher Wehner, Screenwriters Utopia
• "highly recommended...remarkable, ground-breaking screenwriting tutorial." Screaming in the Celluloid Jungle
• "...this book is [for] someone who is about to start their first screenplay - or someone who has started but found the process frustrating, unrewarding and mystifying....An unusual and innovative approach to teaching screenwriting." And in a second post: "...the strength of Screenwright is that it presents fledgeling writers with a range of options, within which to explore their own personal approach to screenwriting.... this book is ideal for those just dipping into the big pool of screenwriting." Chris Owen on misc.writing.screenplays newsgroup.
