AppId is over the quota
Philip Gladwin has given us a screenwriting book essential with ScreenwritingGoldmine. His original e-book is tight, concise, packed with insight, and short. Unlike some of the other big name authors like Trottier, Seger, and Snyder, Philip Gladwin's book focuses specifically on crafting a script worthy of production. He has spent almost two decades working in British television and he delivers the sum of his experience with his e-book.
The Straight Goods
It is rather straight forward and to the point; he takes your hand and walks you through writing a script from concept to first draft. Character creation and mapping, essential plot details and how to do effective research are all covered too. There is also a very active member's forum associated with his screenwriting book (for registered users) that Gladwin moderates himself. This is an amazing resource for his e-book, which allows you to interact with other members and the author himself. His forum has a real "biz", get it good, get it made feel to it.
A Full Course Load
His screenwriting book is no longer just the original 65 page manual, it has blossomed into a full screenwriting course with audio (mp3's) and 3 additional volumes on the craft. I think this is a thanks largely to his main competitors in the market (i.e. The Screenwriters Bible) that offer more bang for the buck and cover sales and marketing for your screenplay. If you are getting serious about the biz, you should at least read both of these books (ScreenwritingGoldmine and The Screenwriters Bible).
Where can you get it?
Philip Gladwin's book is no longer available in a bookstore and can only be purchased online as an e-book.

A Book Purely for Screenwriting
ScreenwritingGoldmine is perhaps the most focused book on screenwriting you may ever read. It is certainly not the only one you should read, but it's the best one purely for script craft. Gladwin doesn't get much press in North America because he works mainly in Britain; he however has more work credits than Snyder, Trottier and Seger combined (look him up on the IMDB).
