Reviews

My success in adapting a screenplay written fifteen years ago into the International bestselling novel The Tattooist of Auschwitz, is due entirely to the amazing, the wonderful, the talented Kathie Fong Yoneda. Her support over many years has given me the belief in the power of story and telling story in which ever medium you can. Kathie's book The Script-Selling Game will be a game changer to eager screenwriters wanting to learn from the best. Kathie's generosity, not only in her words of wisdom on the page but her presence at teaching sessions around the world, or to individuals who reach out, is immeasurable. Her depth of encouragement is humbling. Her knowledge of the craft of screenwriting without peer. The Script-Selling Game is a road-map that will lead you to success. Beautifully structured it sheds light on Hollywood's secrets which when followed will take you from Fade In to Recommend. I am honored to call Kathie my friend. I will never forget the first day I met her and she told me she thought I had something special with the story I pitched to her. The rest as they say, is history, or herstory, or mystory. Heather Morris, Award-winning, best selling author of THE TATTOOIST OF AUSCHWITZ
