you suggestion will b appreciated, thank you

When you said some producers approach you, I was confused about what you meant. Are you talking about movie producers or what? If true, then I'll also ask if your works are majorly meant for movies or novels. You need to weigh the two; if the former (movie) is it, then triple whatever price you have in mind to charge the producers. The costlier the price, the more valuable the script will appear to whomever is buying. But if the latter (novel) is more important to you, then you need to get the work published first, thereafter, it could be adapted into a movie, from whence you'd be paid royalty for the display of copyright. It majorly amounts to crashing two planes with one missile.

The ball's in your groin.

thanks Larry for your response. its a movie script... basically for movie. you said i should triple whatever price i have in mind. that's not clear. i believe of think that there is a standard price for those who have sold before, and if the producers know you know little about selling script, they could decide to use ur head. so thats why i am asking

I don't know much about selling moviescripts, I confess. But if I were you, I wouldn't bid for a 'standard price' balderdash. Your works are beyond the inane standard prices, except if you think otherwise.

ya, i am thinking no is the best option... i heard some script sell for as low as 34 to 45k. when i was thinking of selling for not less than 150k. thats sad

Are you amazed that they come with silly stories day in day out? The scripts are sick and silly ones. Some don't even have a script writer. The producer just gets an idea and they shoot?

Frank3:16 ... I have to upload my disappointment here since your email isn't working ... Why did you delete the end of "the tenth generation" ?

@frank. Pls how did u meet d producers

it sells for 100-150k for top Directors, a neighbour Editor once told me that.

pls house, hw n where can i meet a movie director?

henet: pls house, hw n where can i meet a movie director?

I really met one through a friend and honestly d guy is a bast.d. I wouldn't even remmend him to an enemy. I have long forgotten him. Friends are still helping me look for one but I am not enthusiastic about nollywood thing anymore.

Please I want to turn my novel 70000 words into a novel. It urgent thanks.

Lol. I like the comments here. But right now am writing a Hollywood standard script and before I read your comments, I never planned to sell my work for less than N1,000,000... But u guys are here talking N35k and N100k. Hmm , It depends on the quality of your work sha

I write world class, i just need someone to buy them from me, i will post one of the script front page

Great to see that they are scripts for sale. Finding a way to gather quality screenwriters and to increase their bargaining power is the next step. Ultimately, quality and economic realities will be the main drivers of price. And, we are looking for African movie scripts by the way...

This is not the front page of a world class film script. A world class film script should look like a standard film script, and not anything other than that.

Your front page looks like the front page of a freelance proposal or school project. You didn't even bother to use courier. The new spec style has its title page containing a bold 16" courier title of script, followed by a space, followed by "by" and followed by your name, both in courier 12".

At the bottom left or right of the page, preferably left, you have your registration details and contact, preferably email.

Plus, there is a measurement on page for the appearance for these.

If you can't get something as simple as a screenplay' title page right, how sure am I that your format, plot, sub-plots, characters, pacing, structure, and the rest, follow the standard world class rules.

Please do more research if you are serious about getting paid in millions.

Please @ FRANK 317 or any other person in the house my sister is a good script writer and don't even know where and how to sell it.any assisitance will be much appreciated my whatsapp contact is 08102580463

What kind of script will a Man sell for 150K...I presume its a regular movie, Does it not contain research? Do you just draft an everyday "No content" movie.. You need to aim higher and work harder...All that hard work does not go for that PENNY. My next script will sell nothing less than 10M for a start
