Things I must consider, thank you. I’ve written four screenplays in the suspense mystery genre and now I am ready to submit to a representative of the film industry.

Hi Bill,

Most of the very top, elite literary agents and managers and most studios do have a policy not to take unsolicited query letters, that’s true. However, once in a while, one slips through the cracks at some of those companies. But more importantly…

There are dozens and dozens of smaller production companies and literary managers — even a few lit agents, who will for sure look at new material, or a least the query letter and email queries.

It sounds like you have made some efforts and not had a lot of luck… No question that it is not easy. That’s why it’s very important for every screenwriter to try to optimize every single thing about marketing a script.

Your point is also well taken that there are tens of thousands of scripts being submitted to Hollywood every year. A lot of writers don’t truly realize how much competition there is. So thanks for the reminder.

Careful research indicates that a majority of agents, managers and studios automatically, with some programs (redirect), key “Select All,” then “Delete” on e-queries, and for good reason. They receive thousands, or more, because it’s too easy to “blast!” An estimated 70,000 scripts a year are registered with WGAw and with each one having a “shelf life” of, say, five years, the number in play is mind-boggling!

If you have a secret way of getting a script into a (legit) manager’s hands, you’ll make a fortune! ;o)
