Question:

What is the best way to get an agent if you are trying to sell a screenplay?

And you don't live in California.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

The Writers' Guild of America website has a list of agents that are currently accepting submissions by state, even if you're not a member. This website is an incredible resource for writers, and not just regarding finding an agent.

Also, just to get your name out there, I would try entering a few screenwriting contests. Who knows? You might be discovered :)

Good luck!
