Your VIP Biography: How to Write Your Autobiography to Land a Hollywood Deal by Kenneth Atchity and Alinka Rutkowska is an in-depth guide to writing a best-selling memoir with all the elements to grab the attention of movie makers and bring the story to the big screen. They take the reader on a crash course that breaks down the elusive formula Hollywood is searching for with step-by-step detailed instructions that are easy to understand and follow. The authors teach the six primary ingredients that make up a compelling story and break down these elements even further. The Hollywood formula is drilled into readers’ minds with many detailed examples following four popular memoirs that were turned into movies most people are familiar with.

Authors Kenneth Atchity and Alinka Rutkowska write with authority and expertise, drawing from their vast experience in the entertainment industry. They not only teach the reader how to write a captivating memoir, but they take the reader further into the unknown world of movie-making that is fascinating to glimpse. I liked their almost mathematical approach in breaking down the information into formulas to give the reader a blueprint to follow. The pace was fast and very dynamic. I learned so much vital information in such a short time. I definitely will be using this book as an invaluable reference tool that I can refer to again and again to guide me.
