Well, there are a few roads to take, but to be honest, and not mean, your first script has about a snowballs chance in h*ll of getting made. But you could be a lucky one. First get it registered with the WGA or Writers Guild of America, then get it registered with the US copyrights office. You can get info for them both here on the net. Then you best it to get a lawer or better yet, an agent. They will tell you if it has a good shot, and they will be responsible for soliciting it for you. Remember though, you NEVER pay an agent. Do reserch. Find a good agent and they only get 10 to 15 percent of what you make on the script. But first do a lot of research. find and read the folowing books: "STORY", by Robert McKee, and "The Complete Book of Scriptwriting" by J. Michael Straczynski. The most important thing is to keep writing when you done with this and keep trying.
