Want to Write and Market a Screenplay?

Selling to Hollywood Is America's Premier Scriptwriting Conference

The Screenwriters' Room "Have you ever submitted your screenplay (or teleplay) to an agency, movie star, production
company or studio.. only to receive a "thanks,
but no thanks" whether or not its been read?

"Unsolicited screenplays (i.e. those not submitted by a recognized literary agency) are rarely accepted. If they are accepted, they're read by assistants, interns, or novice readers and fail to attract the attention of the people with the power to buy it. Unsolicited
screenplays are a LOW PRIORITY.

"We can help your screenplay become a HIGH PRIORITY."

Writers’ Showplace "offers an exciting, efficient, time and cost effective way for Writers to showcase partial manuscripts to Agents and Publishers worldwide. We reduce the mountain of paper in the Agent’s and Publisher’s office to the screen on the corner of the desk. Agents and Publishers who want to request a manuscript, “click” on the E-mail Request and the completed manuscript will be sent by the author via regular mail. Writers' Showplace is not an agent looking for a percentage, a self publisher, an editorial service, or a clearing house. We do not edit
the work submitted or take commissions for work sold. We premier talent!"
