How do you be a screenwriter?

buy a decent screenwriting program that will format your scripts correctly. if you want to be a movie screenwriter then write a couple of spec scripts (speculation scripts) which does not include any transitions, camera angles or director advice. send them off to a decent competition, post them on triggerstreet.com or send them off to an agent and try and get them read. for tv screenwriting, you have to write at least one feature film spec script and a script for a tv episode. it's a lot harder to break into than film writing, which, by the way, is hard enough itself.

Is the American format and style and structure of screenplays - for film AND television - exactly the same as the English and if not how do they differ?

In the first place, the English language as spoken in Britain and the English language spoken in every other English-speaking country is different: and, they are all different from each other. Basically, the spelling is different, for a start. Best practices dictate that you purchase a screenwriting format guide for the language and country where you expect to sell your script or work as a screenwriter.
