how can i submit script to hollywood?

Question

tell me about literary agencies and it's websites.

Answer 1

Order a copy of the Hollywood Representation Directory (formerly called Agents and Managers Directory), which is published in February and August of each year. The directory is produced by the Hollywood Reporter, and costs about $50 per issue or $80 for a year's subscription. Its will have the current names, addresses, and phone numbers of talent & literary agents.

Then send a query letter to a list of agents from the directory. However, you should never send your entire script unless it is solicited. Unsolicited scripts are almost never read, and are a clear indication that you are not a professional writer. Goodluck!

Answer 2

Buy Final Draft and put it into the correct format or they won't even look at it. Write a full synopsis (two sides of A4) as they will read that to see if the script is worth reading. The great thing about Final Draft is it as a link to the Writers Guild of America so you can copyright your script through it and then you should be safe. If you want to back that up then post it to yourself registered / recorded delivery, make sure you are the person who receives and signs for it from the postie and then put it somewhere safe and never open it!! That way if anyone nicks your idea then in a court you can have it opened with a record of the delivery date (WGA is best but this is not bad as a quick back up AS WELL!) Buy a copy of The Writers Handbook for this year and then send it off to lots of agents & studios. You don't need to send it to 'hollywood' as if the script is good enough then it will sell itself. Be prepared to wait months and months for someone to even read it!

U :o)

Answer 3

First, think about friends or family that may work for a (Literary Agency) or a movie or tv network.

The general procedure is to submit a "Treament," not an entire script to a Talent Agency.

Answer 4

Good...someone who is realistic and actually has a chance of accomplishing something. Samuel French bookstore in Studio City Ca. sells a book that lists all of the literary agents.
Google for the number and order a copy. Good luck man!

Answer 5

You should try and get an agent to represent your script.

Script submissions to studios or production companies are usually returned unread because of liability.

The only way a studio or production company will look at a script is through an agent.

The other way is to imagine who you would like to play the leading role. For example: if you wrote an action / adventure and would like to see Bruce Willis in the lead role, try and get the script to Bruce. If he likes it, he will try and shop it to a producer.

Good luck!

(PS - copyright is automatic, but you may want to register your script with the library of congress and the WGA)

Answer 6

You need an agent. Look into ICM or William Morris. Read their submission policies. You can't just send them stuff out of the blue. And I really doubt Bruce Willis is going to read mail from you, either.
