- Identifying what audiences want and understanding their emotional needs
- Developing successful ideas for film and television drama
- Writing more effective treatments and step outlines
- Improving one's ability to pitch ideas and scripts
- Surviving 'development hell'
- Handling meetings to get what you want out of them
- Negotiating and understanding contracts
- Protecting ideas, treatments and scripts
- Establishing copyright for writers

Includes 'An A-Z of law and contracts and deal memos' and 'The Writers' Guild Minimum Terms Agreement'.
