Get the Bulletproof Screenplay Podcast 👉www.bulletproofscreenplay.com Today’s guest is screenwriter/podcaster Ashley Scott Meyers from Sellingyourscreenplay.com. Ashley is a working screenwriter in Hollywood. He also spends his time running a popular screenwriting blog and podcast. His focus is on helping you sell your screenplay. Here’s a bit of his philosophy in his own words: If you ask 100 different screenwriters how they broke into the business you’re going to get 100 different answers. There is no “right” way to break in. So my philosophy has always been simple: try as many different angles as possible and figure out what works best for you. Below are two short lists of things you should be doing to try and sell your screenplays. I’ve listed them in order of what I think is most effective (your results may vary). One thing to keep in mind, this is not an exhaustive list. You should be thinking of other ways you can market your material and doing those things, too. If you would like to share any of your ideas please email me as I’m always curious to hear how other writers are successfully marketing their material. Also, you may not be able to do everything on these lists, but the more you do the better chances you’ll have. If you’re serious about success, however, you’re going to need to try most of these things, otherwise you’re not going to be giving your screenplay, or yourself, a real chance to succeed. Things you can start doing today. Make phone calls to agents, managers, and producers pitching your material Write query letters for your screenplays and snail mail, email, or fax them to agents, managers, and producers Scour sites like Craig’s List and other online resources for people looking for screenplays and send them your query letter Enter screenwriting contests Try and connect with agents, managers and producers on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook Long term items which you should also be doing. We get into it in this interview so take some notes on this epic conversation.
