    Salutations, I've been noticing the redundancy of remakes in the film industry lately "The Omen", "Poseidon", "Charlie & the Chocolate Factory", etc. (No offense to Tim Burton, I loved Pee-Wee's Big Adventure and the 1st Batman was 100 times better than that trash that came out 2 yrs. ago). Anyay, you get the idea, they just don't make 'em like they used to. I would love the opportunity to bring some fresh blood to Hollywood, if I may. I'm a young man, 26 years old to be exact, from Atlantic City, N.J. looking to break into the biz as a professional screenwriter. The writing is easy, it's finding the right representation that's killing me. Can you help me, or connect me with someone who can? Thanks, Sincerely, Gary Mazin, Atlantic City, N.J.

    You wouldn't believe how vigilant the script readers are about proper format. The wrong formatting will get your screenplay (no matter how clever, interesting or intelligently written it may be) thrown out immediately, without a second glance. Pick up a book on standard script formats, and stick to it if you want your material to even be read.

    No matter what your level of experience (novice, intermediate, etc.), find a writer's group. Find others who you can not only learn from, but also trust. Their feedback will always prove invaluable. Good luck!
