I am new to this site and to screenwriting. I have written screenplays before. How to do I increase my chances of writing a script that will sell?

Hi, Dorine! There's no secret formula for it. Here's one approach you can try. Before writing a whole screenplay, come up with the pitch, what you would say to sell it. Then try that pitch out on people you know, preferably on people who have some sense of the industry. If something isn't working in your pitch, change it now, BEFORE you write an entire script. After you've written your screenplay, you should then seek feedback again, often more than once, before you try to sell it. Hope this helps! --Doug www.fourstarfeedback.com
