Which one?

Which one would you suggest to me, a newbie screenwriter who wants to introduce his screenplay to agents?

(Regardless of amount)

1. IMDB Pro

2. Behind the scenes

3. Blacklist

4. Tip Ink

5. Step 32

7. Pitch Fest Virtual

6. Pro script reader

Tell me if you know a better place.

i'll appreciate that.

It is difficult to get an agent if you are still a newbie. You should have at least three or four screenplays. All those things you listed cost money and would probably get you know where. If you want an agent get a list of WGA Agents. Smaller boutique are more apt to take on a new client without a track record would start off calling several a day with each script you complete until you get one. I never had a manager but I heard they are easier to get to rep you so you might wanna consider that. Good luck!

Doug Nelson

As a newbie; I suggest none of the above. Take a little time to create a portfolio, find your own comfort zone, style and niche. Build a network of local film type people. Then expand from there. You don't need an Agent yet and I seriously doubt that there are any working Agents who need you yet. Nobody said it's gonna be easy.

John Ellis

All the things Dan and Doug said, plus write some shorts and find a way to produce them. Get them out there (YouTube, festivals, and so on) and repeat- all the while writing features - until agents contact you.

Plan on at least 10 years. Or as Beck/Woods (A Quiet Place) did - 23 years.
