Put a ring on it

So when it comes to Hollywood, people in this biz want what others want too. It's like most men when it comes to dating, they all want the girl everyone lusts after. And as far as screenwriter goes, if Producers, Directors, agents and managers see that you're loved by many, they'll love you too. I'm sure you've heard when you have a script that you can get to a big wig to read, then it's time to reach out to other people of value to read it. If enough people with clout in this business can read it, it could pick up steam and momentum, and before you know, end up a sale. Maybe even a big sale! So don't be afraid to reach out to people once you get your script into the hands of at least one biggie.

For instance, the script my partner and I have finished recently we are able to get to some really worthy folks. It's exciting to say the least and we hope it means it will be a sale shortly. But now we're using that to reach out to as many people we can who could do something with it. So the more names we add to the list of people reading it, the better. It's almost like those huge snow balls you see in those animation movies that at first starts out as a teeny rock pebble at the start of the hill and by the end of the hill it has skiers, snowmen, rabbits, and so much more! Then blam! It explodes into teeny bits. Which in the screenwriting world is big sale.

If you don't feel like you have those kind of contacts right now, don't worry. Keep trying. What is a no yesterday, could turn into a sale along the way a few years later. Keep building your network! You just never know what it could turn into.
