In Hollywood, not only do the stars shine brightly, but occasionally a screenwriter rises to the pantheon of "Celebritydom." The multitalented Kevin Williamson has become one of Hollywood's white-hot commodities.
His first feature film, Scream, became a record-breaking hit in late 1996. This was followed up with screenplays for the top-grossers I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream 2. His coming-of-age television drama series, Dawson's Creek, continues to win tremendous critical acclaim and big ratings for the WB network. His involvement with Halloween: H20 and The Faculty ensured top box-office slots for those films as well. Now, with a second television series, Wasteland, on the way as well as Scream 3, Williamson continues to expand his hold on the public's attention.
From Scream to Dawson's Creek examines the genesis of Williamson's career, from high-school tragedy and low-budget acting despair to his award winning and box-office-grabbing rise to become the toast of Hollywood's creative elite. The book gives a detailed examination of each of his films and television projects, allowing Hollywood outsiders and insiders alike a riveting view of the making of a star writer.
Includes bios and quotes from Drew Barrymore, Courtney Cox, David Arquette, Neve Campbell, Jamie Kennedy, Matthw Lillard, Skeet Ulrich, Rose McGowan, Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Elijah Wood, Usher, Salma Hayek, LL Cool J, Jennifer Love Hewitt, James Van Der Beek, Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson, Michelle Williams, Kerr Smith, Wes Craven, and many more.

Reviews of FROM SCREAM TO DAWSON'S CREEK
A Reader from Los Angeles, CA on Amazon:
"I bought this book because I love the way Kevin writes and wanted to know how he does it. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the book is as much about the actors and actresses he has worked with as it is about Williamson himself. Looking at all those names and photos, I figure Kevin must be responsible for launching at least half of all of today's teen idols."
Jamie White from Ohio on Amazon:
"This biography is a very informative take on his life and career . It also has information on the actors and actresses he's worked with."
Dave Walsh from New York on Amazon:
"After reading this book, I wanted to go out and rent Scream again."
