Nutshell Technique Book – Now Available!

Everyone’s raving about TSW Director Jill Chamberlain’s new book The Nutshell Technique: Crack the Secret of Successful Screenwriting(University of Texas Press) and how it’s improved their screenwriting. It’s available online and in bookstores including Bookpeople in Austin and LA’s Writers Store.

Hollywood screenwriter Glenn Gers (Fracture with Ryan Gosling and Anthony Hopkins) said: “The Nutshell Technique is a detailed, focused, ferociously practical method for structuring a screenplay. Author Jill Chamberlain shows you exactly how to get the work done.”

And on Amazon, to date 15 out of 15 customer reviews on Amazon have given The Nutshell Technique a five-star rating! Amazon reviewers have described it as “superb,” “worth every penny,” and “an instant classic…This simple, elegant approach to story development is superior to those you’ll find in similar books, because it provides more space for originality.”

The Nutshell Technique is a revolutionary screenplay structuring method Jill invented and the cornerstone of The Screenplay Workshop’s curriculum. To get a sense of what a profound difference the Nutshell Technique makes, please check out the book trailer, featuring screenwriters who have worked with Jill and applied the method to their own work:
