There is lots of advice that you can freely obtain on the net. You just have to do a little searching. There are screen writing groups that might be willing to be of help to you as well.
I am in the process of working on scripts and have one about ready to submit. I know from first hand experience that even though you might have a really good idea…you must present it in the best and highest professional form in order to get the attention of a major producer, agent or production studio. Remember your script is one among of about twenty thousand plus that are submitted each year. Again, a screen writing critique group is of help. Or, if you’re certain that you’re idea is great and unique, you might hire the services of one of the script coaches that are offered on the web. I suggest you check out “Scriptcoach” David Kohner Zuckerman for analysis and help. He also offers an on line “pitch” system which, for a fee, gives you an opportunity to do so via his web site directly to the participating companies, managers and agents. Most of the really big companies will only respond to a query via an agent or agency that ascribes to the Writer’s Guild of America guidelines. That’s a tremendous leap for any beginning writer, but it can be done…just not often. You usually have to work your way up to be noticed and accepted at that level usually through winning a screenplay competition or getting a script produced at a lower, independent level.
Best of luck to you. I hope you are successful.
