Here's six handy tips to get that script of yours sold in Hollywood!
1. Please keep your script under 300 pages. Every page after 120 adds 56 more days to the total reading time.
2. Ask around and see if anybody knows anybody who's "connected" in the entertainment industry. Perhaps even you know someone. Did you go to college? Did one of your room-mates go on to becoming a mildy-respected independent film-maker? Well brother forget him! You have a better chance of getting your local hot dog and root beer suds vendor to sell your damned script!
3. Be patient! Sometimes these things take weeks, months, years, decades. He's a very busy man!
