Page "Screenwriter" Paragraph 6

After a screenwriter finishes a project, he or she pairs with an industry-based representative, such as a producer, director, literary agent, entertainment lawyer, or a entertainment executive.

These partnerships will often pitch their project to investors or others in a position to further a project.

Once the script is sold the writer only has the rights that were agreed with the purchaser.

A screenwriter becomes credible once their work is recognized, giving the writer the opportunity to earn a higher income.
