    I hope your spelling is better on the screenplay (too?).

    If it's something that could become a film then I'd suggest Working Title Films. Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner are two of the nicest guys in cinema and have delivered some amazing films from good screenplays.

    visit Barnes & Noble and get the most modern version of Writers Digest. it would want to help you. you'll one hundred% needs a agent now, which the e book can help you you get. you are able to also get options on publishers to work out what you're up adverse to. that still ability no longer some thing because maximum publishers are literally not likely after new writers in any respect. you've like a a million% danger. Self publishing at your age, isn't good because there's a outstanding type of work that is going into self publishing and also you may delight on your kids, and wait till you're extremely more effective waiting to be accessible, because you may be open to leg artwork for self publishing, e book excursions, etc. And being a author now might want to be next to no longer achieveable, in case you be conscious all of us on right it truly is a author, so imagine that one thousand fold, the publishing market is a funny tale and is carefully inundated with writers (or what human beings pick to call themselves). Which makes it puzzling for the real author, yet if you are a actual author you'll slide accurate by way of. So count number on your self, use this time to ideal your writing, get comments from kinfolk and associates, they grant you with actual advise or maybe allow you to comprehend now to not supply up your day pastime if it really is the reality. good success!

    Get hold of a copy of the "writer's and Artists yearbook"...probably got one at your local library..if you don't have one, and look through..match your screenplay with a company that uses your sort of writing...If you don't research the company ..they may not look at it..and worse still..they may not return your screenplay..even if they don't want it.

    (Send registered post, where the recipient has to sign for it...t'will be about £1 on top of postage, and include a SAE for the return....and check that they use screenplays along the lines of yours...research takes time..but worth it. I know I put that twice, but tiz important.)

    I noticed someone has recommended you send to the BBC...if you do this..send to your regional one firstly, as if you send to head office and they reject...the others won't consider it, whereas a regional may be interested, and it may then go national, if you are lucky.

    If you're really serious then the the best TV company to try is the BBC. It will have to be a pretty good screenplay to get accepted though.

    Arrange a meeting with a local publisher and have him/her review your screenplay. Good Look.

    Purchase a book called "The Writer's Market 2007", submit the manuscript to every publisher in it that typically publishes your type of manuscript (they are all listed).

    Also this book is handy for agents:
