Evan Marquisee has posted ten tips on marketing your screenplay. I like his idea of doing your own movies. He also suggests posting a logline on Inktip or working directly with a producer/director. Another one outside the list is making a novel of the screenplay and use that to increase the likelihood that the book will become a movie.
I have been working on the latter. I found I like writing scripts more than writing a novel. I am too impatient filling in the details and I want to get directly into the action. This may change as I get older.
Skip Press also has advice for the aspiring writer of any genre. I highly recommend his book, Write What You Want Sell What You Write. He covers writing for magazines, fiction, nonfiction and screenwriting.
The Writerunner Blog is also full of useful tips about the process of putting a script together.
This site by Gerald Jones has a list of contacts in the Movie Making industry. It is a bare bones website with lots of information about contacting people in book and movie industry.
One of my favorite writers, Pat Proft wrote and directed Wrongfully Accused. Throughout the movie he incorporates locations near his hometown of Colombia Heights, Minnesota into the script. Knowing the places adds to the fun.
