Why read it?
1 author picked It Would Be So Nice If You Weren't Here as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Rejection is a big part of the writer’s life (less so now that self-publishing has taken off, but it still rears its ugly head more times than you might expect).
Actors know all about rejection and the late Charles Grodin had more than his share. While this is technically a memoir, it’s also a handbook on how to deal with and process all the forms of rejection you might encounter on your journey.

From John's list on for writers who want to write scripts.
