The one golden rule for sending out your script? It's this: The First 10 pages have to sizzle, or your script will get tossed in the bin - however good the rest of it might be. Because industry readers and producers won't bother to read on.
I'm now offering a special First Ten Pages Report. Check it out here.

Dec 7, 2009, Inglourious Basterds - Get The DVD
Inglourious Basterds might not be his greatest film, but it still has some great Tarantino moments.
Look at how beautifully modulated the tension rises in the opening scene.
And the scenes in the bar with Diane Kruger show Tarantino's dialogue at full throttle.
Try and read the script as well. See where you think it could have been better! Screenwriters can learn a good deal from scripts by master writers when they don't always reach perfection.
Get the single disc DVD, the Blue-Ray or splash out on the Blu-Ray Special Edition.
