Question by Emperor of China A: sell my movie screenplay script or not?
Well i made a really good script that I think could become really good.
But Im just a average guy in europe you know so i dont know, shoudl i try make the movie with my friends, its really a great script but we dont have so good stuff for makign a movie so it would become a b movie only no matter what we do.

You’ll first need to protect it and then find someone to sell it for you – an agent or a manager.

You register your work through the Writers Guild of America West:

www.wgawregistry.org

Or you can register it in whatever country you’re in. I’m not familiar with every country’s registration or copyright law, so you might want to do some research if you’re planning on selling it in your country.

You get an agent or a manager by picking up a copy of the Hollywood Representation Directory and compiling a list of every agent or manager that represents writers in the genre you write in. Then you send them all query letters (you don’t send your screenplays). Interview the ones that respond, and pick the one that you believe will work the best for you and be the best fit. Remember that the agent or manager you pick works for YOU, not the other way around. This person will then shop your work for you.

If you can’t find the Hollywood Representation Directory, you can try looking online at:
