Script Submissions
Have you written a great script, but can’t get industry professionals to read it? Stop being frustrated by agents, personal managers and studio gatekeepers slamming the door in your face. Film Literary Group will directly submit your screenplay to independent production companies, looking to buy and produce new scripts. For more information about their submission policy, contact
them at 310-556-2040 or visit their website at http://www.FilmLiteraryGroup.com.
The write sites
A great site to find out what is really happening in the literary world. Jennifer Jackson is a literary agent who is “saving the world, one book at a time.” She provides news and a round-up of
queries. Well worth a visit if you want to get published. http://www.arcaedia.livejournal.com
ShowMeYourLits.com
This site hosts activities to help writers get and stay productive, including weekly, timed flash-fiction contests, free quarterly cash-prize writing contests, daily 100-word-or-less ‘Drabble’ prompts, an ongoing surrealist haiku chain, and, coming soon, a 100-word-a-day novel-writing challenge. Their goal is simply to get you writing, to help you produce more. The focus is literary fiction, but they welcome entries with genre influences.
