Should You Publish Your Screenplays on Kindle?
What's a screenwriter to do? Closet writers who used to dream of seeing their books in print are now fantasizing about seeing their movies on the big or small screen.
But how realistic is it that a person with no writing credits, living in Washington State will actually sell a screenplay for six figures? If you ask me, the answer is: Not likely.
Is it impossible? Of course not.
Is it probable? No way.
So, what's a screenwriter to do? Should you publish Your screenplay on Kindle? Author and screenwriter, London Tracy, answers with a resounding absolutely! And the reason is simple.
Each year over 50,000 screenplays are registered with the Writer's Guild of America, making screenwriting one of the most competitive fields on the planet.
A screenplay can sell for $100,000, even for the first-timer.
This fact alone attracts many talented and untalented writers, hoping and praying to score the big-money payday.
However, the truth of the matter is that only one percent of screenwriters are ever likely to achieve that goal.
And of the 50,000 or so screenplays registered, not counting the ones registered with the Library of Congress, less than 900 of them will actually be sold and an even smaller number will make it to the big screen.
Add to this number the hundreds of aspiring producers with their own ideas for movies, the plethora of novels sitting on studio executive's desks, waiting to be adapted and you realize just how huge this market is.
Needless to say, competition is fierce! With more and more screenwriters attempting to beat the odds with their breakthrough screenplays and competition being at an all-time high, there is a dynamic need for more creative and lucrative ways to penetrate an almost impossible and tough business.
Publishing your screenplay on Kindle affords screenwriters the opportunity to step out of the box of standard-procedure query letters and the "we-don't-accept-unsolicited-scripts" abyss, and make a name for themselves by publishing their screenplays on Kindle.
Self-publishing is no new phenomenon to the novelist or the nonfiction writer, however, to the aspiring screenwriter, it is an untapped market with huge prospects.
In this day and age, screenwriting hopefuls are eager for different paths, which will allow them to be recognized for their hard work and talent and maybe even be discovered.
And earning a little money doesn't hurt either.
With a limited number of movies produced every year, the majority of these screenwriters will probably never be discovered and are totally at the mercy of the Hollywood system, waiting for their big break.
Not everyone is lucky enough to obtain a movie deal or sell a script, but Every Screenwriter can be published on Kindle.
