Please pardon me if this topic has been discussed before.

How do you submit a script? Loose pages with a rubberband (as with most ms), or punch-holes with fastening tags (as how scripts are usually distributed)?

I use a whip, patent leather boots, and brass brads.

Scripts should be copied onto three-hole punch paper, fastened by two or three brass fasteners. (Use Acco brand #5, which are available at the Writers Store in Los Angeles.) Card stock covering (back and front) is optional.

i suggest you print it all out on toilet paper. that way when the producer is reading your script while he's sitting on the toilet with constipation then he has something to wipe his crap with. :b

write on!

Two brass fasteners and 110-lb. card stock front and back. No writing on the card stock.
If you're submitting directly to a legit agent, you should omit the cover stock entirely.

Nike, you're terrible, but I agree! Toilet paper's the way to go.

Only two brad fasteners, on the top and bottom hole. The middle hole should be left empty.

Some form of Courier 12, blah, blah, blah.

I buy 2-hole paper, to avoid the embarassment of sending three brads.

Or, failing that, I fill in each center hole of each page with a thin layer of hardened Wite-Out(tm)
