Where to Submit Your Screenplay

This all started when I decided to find a place to submit a screenplay for a dream I had with a murder mystery. I searched for where to submit my screenplay but I mainly found a bunch of websites that wanted to show me HOW to submit a script but not where!

So I created this website to be a helpful resource for aspiring screen writers to actually find useful contact info. Contacts for agencies or producers or production companies to submit their original screenplay or script to.

There are many websites that tell you to submit to CONTESTS for screenplays. But there are thousands of submissions to each contest every year and only a few winners. The submission prices are $35 to $65 per contest. The contest runners are making a ton of money.

There are also many websites that look like scams for screenplay writers. They offer to have professionals look at your screenplay and tell you if it is any good. You pay anywhere from $25 to $50 a month for this! Usually the professional (who is not an agent or production company contact) will tell you that your writing is not good enough.

So on this website I want to mainly stick to FREE resources of WHERE to submit your script for consideration. Please use the comments section to comment about any free contact information or free contests for screenplay writers.

The only pay for item

This is the only pay for item I want to list on here: Hollywood Screenwriting Directory Spring/Summer Volume 4: A Specialized Resource for Discovering Where & How to Sell Your Screenplay

Many websites will tell you that you need this resource of agents and producers to try and submit your screenplay to quite a few of them. Let me know if it worked for you.
