About the Author

Since the mid-1970s, Michael Hauge has made a living in Hollywood as a script consultant, story editor, writer, and lecturer. After leaving film school, Hauge became a reader for a variety of producers and agencies. Years later, acting on his aspirations of becoming a teacher, Hauge began teaching show more a screenwriting class through the UCLA extension program. Those classes eventually caused Hauge to begin conducting weekend seminars on writing for the screen. The seminars provide a complete "A to Z" approach to both the craft and business during two intensive days of work. Drawing on his experiences writing for the movies, Hauge wrote the best-selling HarperCollins book, Writing Screenplays That Sell, that gives aspiring screen writers a clear and concise method for mapping out a story.

Writing Screenplays That Sell, New Twentieth Anniversary Edition: The Complete Guide to Turning Story Concepts into Movie and Television Deals by Michael Hauge

I was fortunate enough to attend Michael Hauge's workshop on story structure at the Romantic Times conference this year (2011). My head spun when I walked away from that seminar. I was so impressed by Michael's clarity and succinctness -- and of course, by the story principles he offered -- that I couldn't wait to put them into practice. I picked up his book immediately at the conference, and devoured it on the plane.

Even though I don't write screenplays, I used Michael's approach to show more developing characters and outlining the story's structure to sketch the main points of my new novel. I'm amazed by the results. I can now "see" the story in my head like never before. It's taken on a clarity I hadn't expected, and I'm excited to start writing it to see what develops.

Michael's ability to provide a straightforward blueprint for crafting a great story is admirable. It's already changed the way I plan, structure, and think about my work. Highly recommended. show less

The Hero's 2 Journeys by Michael Hauge

This was awesome listening to two great story consultants. Most of it speaks of writing screenplays but it easily applies to any mode of storytelling.
