SELL YOUR SCRIPT: 30 HOLLYWOOD AGENCIES with 100-200 Literary Agents: (Part 1: Agencies 1-15)

WRITE & SELL A GREAT SCRIPT

Here’s your list (see below) of literary agents that actually might (no guarantees) take a call from a first-timer

Now write your script. Make sure it is great. CYA.

Register & Copyright it & keep the receipts.

Next, write a 1/2 page Cover Letter (Query Letter) saying “why it is great” with some sort of line like “once you peruse the first page you’ll know why it’s great”.

One more step, get a Release Form. Sign it (keep a copy for your files). Put it in with the Query Letter and Script and… turn it over to God.

Always remember… God is in the results-business you are in the legwork-business.

SCREENWRITER TEACHING POINT #1

In Hollywood “CYA” (Cover Your Ass).

Let’s cut-to-the-chase. You wrote a script. A Feature, a One-Hour TV drama, a 30-minute Sitcom, whatever… And you are sure it’s great (doesn’t everyone).

The question quickly becomes “how do you get Hollywood (an agent) to read it” and have someone, with power & contacts (studios, networks, executives, celebrities, etc.) , say “I wanna do this?”

First, lets assume you’ve written it and protected it. You did proper CYA (Cover-Your-Ass) and have solid proof of the day you created it.

Copyright-3

Bye-the-Bye: Proper CYA is to (A) Copyright it with Library of Congress ($45-65) and (B) Register it with the Writers Guild of America ($20-$25).

Yes, do both. Why? Because they’re so easy and cheap to do… do both.

And, the Day-You-Created is the date of the Day-You-Copyrighted it or the date of the Day-You-Registered it…not the Day-You-Thought it.

Now, with the dated-receipt(s) of Copyright & Registration (on file) you can be comfortable to proceed…

REASON: When your script (copyrighted & registered) is submitted to someone he/she can change the title & tweak a couple of names & scenes (yes, there are scum balls in all industries); Register it and Copyright it; and state it is theirs.

Yes scum balls can do this… however, the Date-of-registration or Date-of-copyright that these scum balls now obtain will always be after the Date-of-registration or the Date-of-copyright that you obtained (Duh) a day, a week, a month or a year earlier.

It is so easy to prove you created-it-first if you actually created-it-first by (A) writing it first and (B) registering or copyrighting it first…

Only Superman, a nice kid from Smallville (not a scum ball), can turn back the clock by flying counter-clockwise around Earth trying to save Lois Lane.

TEACHING POINT #1: You copyright & register screenplays to obtain solid proof, for only $25-$45 (such a deal), that you were the first.

CYA. CYA. CYA.

My next post will have an additional 15 Literary Agencies (A-Z, not Z-A) and a second very important Screenwriting Teaching Point.
