How Can I Submit a Screenplay?
I’m an aspiring screen writer, and luckily for me, I already live in Los Angeles!
I’m writing a screenplay for a comic book action movie (such as Dark Knight or X-Men). I created all the main characters myself but it also includes pre-existing Marvel characters such as Dazzler, Wolfsbane and Polaris, Cannonball, Boom-Boom, Surge and Pixie.
These a characters that did not appear in any previous Marvel movies.
I want to submit this screenplay to Marvel or any other filmmaker that will read it.
How do I do this?
You don’t.
Using those characters without authorization from Marvel, and then submitting it to them will only get you one thing: blacklisted. What you need to do is drop those characters and replace them.
But let me answer your question any way.
The first step to submitting your screenplay is by registering it with the Writer’s Guild of America at the site found below.
http://www.wgawregistry.org/webrss/
Refrain from this until you have YOUR final draft (because technically that will be the first draft if it is sold).
Then you need to find yourself an agent or manager. These individuals take your material and sell it for you, so long as they believe they can sell your stuff. ONLY submit to Guild signatory agencies, as the others, well, are not likely to get you anywhere.
http://www.wga.org/agency/agencylist.asp
It would also be wise to pick up a copy of the Hollywood Creative Directory and Representation Directory.
http://www.hcdonline.com/index.aspx
There are four of these published each year, but if you simply subscribe to the Online Directory, you don’t need to worry about your bookshelf consuming too much space. Pretty penny to do it, but worth it if you are serious.
Then you craft yourself a Query Letter.
http://www.isomedia.com/homes/screen/query.htm
This site is merely a sample of what a query letter is. NOT what it should look like. Simply be sure to include a logline, brief synopsis, and short bio about yourself. If you have won any contests or awards for screenwriting, be sure to include those as well. (But to be honest, the only award any agent cares about is the Nicholl Fellowship).
Then you send your query letter via email or post to all of the agencies who ACCEPT UNSOLICITED MATERIAL!!!! If they do not accept it, then that means they will only accept even a query through a reputable agency, entertainment attorney, manager, or producer. NOT YOU.
Then you wait. This is the part where most writer’s fail. They think that two weeks or a month is waiting. SIX MONTHS is waiting in this business. If you happen to have someone request your material, add a few more months. Follow up with an email or phone call every month to let them know you are alive, but if you continue to be told that they “have not gotten to it yet,” that is the nice way of saying “not interested.”
So that is how you submit your screenplay. Good luck.
Starman, Joe the Barbarian and Dark Avengers!

Excerpt: Los Angeles – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The old city plaza, 1869The Los Angeles coastal area was first settled by the Tongva (or Gabrieleqos) and Chumash Native American tribes thousands of years ago. The first Europeans arrived in 1542 in an expedition organized by the viceroy of New Spain and commanded by Juan Rodrmguez Cabrillo, a Portuguese-born explorer who claimed the area of southern California for the Spanish Empire. However, he continued with his voyage up the coast and did not establish a settlement. The next contact would not come until 227 years later, when Gaspar de Portol`, along with Franciscan missionary Juan Crespm, reached the present site of Los Angeles on August 2, 1769. Crespm noted that the site had the potential to be developed into a large settlement. In 1771, Franciscan friar Junmpero Serra built the Mission San Gabriel Arcangel near Whittier Narrows, in what is now called San Gabriel Valley. In 1777, the new governor of California, Felipe de Neve, recommended to Antonio Marma de Bucareli y Ursza, viceroy of New Spain, that the site noted by Juan Crespm be developed into a pueblo. The town was officially founded on September 4, 1781, by a group of forty-four settlers known as Los Pobladores. Tradition has it that on this day they were escorted by four Spanish colonial soldiers, two priests from the Mission and Governor de Neve. The town was named El Pueblo de Nuestra Seqora la Reina de los Angeles del Rmo de Porcizncula (The Town of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels on the Porcizncula River). These pueblo settlers came from the common Hispanic culture that had emerged in northern Mexico among a racially mixed society. Two-thirds of the settlers were mestizo or mulatto, and therefore, had African, Amerindian, an… More: http://booksllc.net/?id=18110 |

Father of the Comic Strip: Rodolphe Topffer $23.31 A critical study of the Swiss artist who created the comic strippSixty years before the comics entered the American newspaper press, Rodolphe Topffer of Geneva (1799-1846), schoolmaster, university professor, polemical journalist, art critic, landscape draftsman, and writer of fiction, travel tales, and social criticism, invented a new art form: the comic strip, or picture story, that is now the graphic novel. At first he resisted publishing what he called his little follies. When he did, they became instantly popular, plagiarized, and imitated throughout Europe and the United States.pTopffer developed a graphic style suited to his poor eyesight: the doodle, which he systematized and also theorized. The drawings, with their modernist spontaneous, flickering, broken lines, forming figures in mad hyperactivity, run above deft, ironic captions and propel narratives of surreal absurdity. The artist’s maniacal protagonists mix social satire with myth. By the mid-nineteenth century, Messrs. Jabot, Festus, Cryptogame, and other members of the crazy family, comprising eight picture stories in all, were instant folk heroes. In a biographical framework, Kunzle situates the comic strips in the Genevan and European culture of the time as well as in relation to Topffer’s other work, notably his hilarious travel tales, and recounts their curious genesis (with an initial imprimatur from Goethe, no less) and their controversial success.pKunzle’s study, the first in English on the writer-artist, accompanies Rodolphe Topffer: The Complete Comic Strips, a facsimile edition of the strips themselves, with the first-ever translation of these into English.pDavid Kunzle is a professor of art history at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the author of many books on popular culture and graphic arts, including History of the Comic Strip: The Nineteenth Century. |

Literature and Race in Los Angeles $12.79 This is a study of the treatment of the city, specifically LA, in contemporary writing.Los Angeles is both the most fragmented and minoritized metropolis in America, and its most luridly abstract and aestheticised city. With more than eighty-five languages being spoken in its classrooms, and one homogeneous visual language emanating from its entertainment industry, LA radically challenges the prospects of that archaic representational medium: literature. Literature and Race in Los Angeles is the first full-length attempt to think through some of the representational contradictions inherent in literary production in this city, and contemporary America at large.Los Angeles is both the most fragmented and minoritized metropolis in America, and its most luridly abstract and aestheticised city.

Literature and Race in Los Angeles is the first full-length attempt to think through some of the representational contradictions inherent in literary production in this city, and contemporary America at large.This book analyzes contemporary literature in Los Angeles in relation to the city’s form, its visual character and its recent political history. Writers such as Bret Easton Ellis and James Ellroy are considered as responding to racial and ethnic partitioning in LA, as well as to increasing cultural homogeneity. Unlike other books on contemporary American literature, this book builds a composite portrait of a single literary scene in order to demonstrate the significance of writing in a tendentially post-literate culture, and the difficulties of literary representation in a city committed to visual representation.Acknowledgements; Introduction; 1.
