Yeah … I don’t know what you’re ‘makeing,’ but a “screen play and script” are the same thing: a screenplay. I believe you may have a long way to go before you sell whatever it is you’re writing.

That being said…

Once you’ve finished your screenplay, you’ll need to protect it and find someone to sell it for you – an agent or a manager.

You register your work through the Writers Guild of America West:

www.wgawregistry.org

And you get an agent or a manager by picking up a copy of the Hollywood Representation Directory and compiling a list of every agent or manager that represents writers in the genre you write in. Then you send them all query letters (you don’t send your screenplays). Interview the ones that respond, and pick the one that you believe will work the best for you and be the best fit. Remember that the agent or manager you pick works for YOU, not the other way around. This person will then shop your work for you.
