It was a rare occasion in Los Angeles: a party for successful, world-famous writers without any screen credits. In fact, no screenwriters were invited. And it was an atypical location: a small, no-name restaurant on the edge of Hollywood, devoid of producers, directors, or paparazzi. Yet these authors – a group of serious writers considered by many to be a vanishing breed – seemed to be truly enjoying their opportunity to be with their peers.

Los Angeles, CA – September 30, 2008 - Hollywood’s A-list producers, directors and actors are often accused of being barely literate, but movie-makers know that movie-goers can still read. And that has given “Men Who Can’t Love,” the classic bestseller by Steven Carter and Julia Sokol, a long career in the Hollywood spotlight. If Carter's success is any indication, bestsellers are becoming part of the Hollywood formula for box office revenue.
