sell a screenplay

Why is it so hard for me to write an entry about this goal? Maybe because I’m so far from getting this done that writing an entry means I have to admit that I am so far from getting this done.

My goal for this summer was to write a screnplay. A GOOD screenplay. I’d already written 2 (and a half) so I started my third at the end of May. I just finished it last week and I’m really excited about it! It turned out a lot better than I thought it would.

I’ve got my query letter written, my logline refined, and a list of agencies to send the query letter to. The only problem is that I’m sixteen… I mean, I guess that would be a problem. I don’t really know. My hope is that if I’m as professional as possible, people will take me seriously. Wish me luck!

I have been writing scripts for about a decade, on and off. I’ve had several shot, including a feature with paid cast and crew (admittedly, low budget). However, I want to write a screenplay that’s good enough to sell to someone.

Anyone interested?

I’m still learning about the business. I feel like I have a really great idea for a movie, but that isn’t enough! The business is really tough to break into. I just joined a free community for screenplay writers and I’m starting to learn about everything I need to sell my script!!

So I had a meeting with a production company in December and they liked three of my ideas, so I sent in more detailed written pitches on all of them. Now, they’ve asked for a very detailed treatment on one idea. I’m working on that now. If they really like it, maybe they’ll buy it. Send me positive vibes as I work on it!

Need to finish reading 5th Triggerstreet screenplay and then start writing my next one.

Ok I’m working on script #2, but have only the vaguest idea on how to market the first one. I haven’t much money, which makes sending out copy after copy more difficult. Any suggestions?

I have a finished screenplay (edgy drama) that I am currently marketing to prodcos and agents (lots of good interest so far)...

i love creative thinking so i am crazy for AD.
PLZ let me know how you guys enter that industry.
