Has anyone here had luck selling scripts on kindle? Also, what's the best format to convert from Final Draft that looks somewhat presentable? Thanks.

Allow me to clarify. Newbie here, but not to writing. Written over a dozen screenplays over the years (thrillers mostly), was once under contract for writing on spec, even had a B-level actor hip-pocketing another one (which obviously went nowhere). After kids, took a hiatus with that and my day job...

Written over a dozen screenplays over the years (thrillers mostly), was once under contract for writing on spec, even had a B-level actor hip-pocketing another one (which obviously went nowhere). After kids, took a hiatus with that and my day job and now I'm back to punching my keyboard once more. Anyway, looking forward to joining a new community. Been around awhile on another site that was similar (Zoetrope) but that spot has seen better days. A few of my scripts placed in their Top Three a few times, back when they had 150+ submissions. I, myself, was a Top 10% reviewer there as well. I am also converting one of my scripts into a novel, which had been both euphoric and frustrating at times. Just completed my 2nd rewrite. Surprisingly, I still have hair. Cheers!
You're in great company here, Mark. Over 90,000 screenwriters in the community and, as mentioned when you joined, over a half million creatives worldwide. Don't be afraid to jump right in. Definitely upload a headshot when you have a moment. It will certainly help with your networking.
That sounds amazing! Welcome!

Expand comment@David is 100% correct I'll probably do Apple as well. But they are about 10% the size of Amazon, so I won't be ordering the new car just yet. I think it is a good thing to do. It is just as hard to promote a book as it is a screenplay, may be harder. There is nothing motivating a book buyer. A producer at least needs one script to make a movie.
David thanks for tip I will try Smashwords err where is 'everywhere' ...
I wouldn't put the screenplay on there. Put your treatment there.
