Advice - Thanks!

I've struggled all my life to build and notice my talents, but it turns out I really don't have any. It's incredibly depressing to know I'm practically not worth anything. I had a feeling to write a television script a couple months back. I didn't think much of it, until it came stronger and pressed harder everyday. I was like "what the heck?" and I started writing.

I'm not somebody who just wants it to happen magically without any effort. I've put in hours upon hours into this, researched almost every last ounce of this subject, to get it into an almost (nothing is perfect) perfect script. I've sent out close to 300 query letters (which are basically "summaries" or synopsis' of your script and overall idea, because most companies will not accept scripts for legal reasons) to all different agencies, agents, managers, and production companies. I've gotten a few (three, yes three out of 300 :() responses, all different reasons for not accepting my script (went out of business, etc.). My query is very catchy and well written, and my script is something that will definitely connect with teenage and adult demographics. I just can't get any responses from these people.

Being represented by an agent or a manager is the only way to get your script sold and made into a television show. I've had so many disappointments in my life, and I don't want another one. I don't want to give up because a strong feeling just keeps on pushing me forward.

What do you think I should do? Do you have any recommendations? Should I keep going after this or just give up? :confused:

Thank you for reading :D

What's your script about?

[nobodyreally]

It's a drama-comedy television show that deals with issues going on with teenagers and their families including mental health, religion, adoption, social classes and more. Shows like GLEE and movies like MEAN GIRLS show to strive for popularity, but what about the kids who can't have it all? The high school sophomore (main character) lives right next to his cousin who is way more popular than him. Until her boyfriend starts bad rumor and everything just goes downhill as the cousin moves away from the church (Mormon) and the sophomore goes into depression, and they both have to learn through lessons and plot twists to climb out of the hole they learned they dug.

I don't want to give away to much information for legal reasons (sorry :( ) Im sorry if that wasn't that good, it's not the synopsis I'm sending out to the agents, my synopsis is much better. I had to make this description vague enough that you would get the idea, but not the exact idea and the caveats that go with it that make it much more interesting!

May I ask why you wanted to know?
