Don't sell your soul. Lease it. It's been a few years since I've queried. I started when snail-mail was still the preferred method and I only got one request to read either of the scripts I was querying. Cold-calling isn't fun, but as Dan can attest, it may be the best route. If you can't get your script(s) into the hands of industry professionals who will pass your script on to other industry professionals, you have no choice but to reach out blindly. Winning a contest or two before querying never hurts… And as Shannon mentioned, that Happy Writers service here at Stage 32 may be a good opportunity. Good luck!
