Read a Good Book Lately? : Looking for a book on screenwriting by Lisa Bogner

Looking for a book on screenwriting

I'm currently reading How To Write For Television by Madeline DiMaggio but I it seems extremely useless. She's mainly writing about herself and the screen- and teleplays that she wrote and the extracts that she puts in the book are not even good but extremely bad and I'm not even a professional screenwriter but even I can tell. I've learned more about screenwriting from googling random articles than that book. All tips are appreciated! Thanks!

Does anybody know if Writing The TV Drama Series by Pamela Douglas is any good?

Hi Lisa. Sorry, I have not read the two books you reference. But here's a thread in the Screenwriting forum that may be helpful to you: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting/Best-Screenwriting-Books-3. ;)
