I was just wondering, how many of you have sold a screenplay. And if so, what was the process? (Did you use an agent, manager, both, sell it yourself, etc.?)

Hey, Thom Reese. I sold four short scripts to a producer on Stage 32. I networked with him for a little while, then we got into a conversation about scripts. I told him I had scripts posted on my profile and he went through them and picked four. We signed a contract, and he paid me for the scripts. That's why I suggest writers post their scripts (along with their loglines and synopses) on their profiles.

Maurice Vaughan I think he means WGA and/or Library of Congress registered when he says "copywritten". he is making the assumption that you must do one of those before you can sell a script, or at least I think he is asking if you sold scripts having done neither of those 2 types of script protection.

Oh ok, Chase Cysco. I see what you mean. Thanks for explaining. Yeah, I register my scripts with the U.S. Copyright Office before showing them to people.
