Screenwriting : Reading Scripts by Aaron J. James

Reading Scripts

Where do writers find scripts to read? I know of the normal online places but do you contact companies or producers of your favourite shows and ask if you can get copies of the scripts? There are a few shows I wanted to get the scripts for, but I am not having any luck. Thought I would ask what everyone else does.

If u live in LA or NY, go to the Writer's Guild HQs. check with your local main library. A Production Company in the US would not give their scripts out (legally). I dont know if a Producer can give scripts to fans. (Again, the lawyers)

Hey, Aaron! Amazon has scripts in book form. I'm studying THE DARK KNIGHT TRILOGY now. I also have a lot of scripts in PDF form. What are you lookin' for?

Most producers don't give scripts to fans. But it can't hurt to ask. You might even start up a relationship. Ask.

Thanks for all your comments, I will give a couple of the links a try (ones I have not been to already). I did contact a few producers, some got back to me and responded nicely, other I have not heard back from. The search continues!
