Q: Where should I send a screenplay to get it produced?
I’m sorry to say I have absolutely no idea how one goes about submitting screenplays.
What kind of question would you like answered?

Should Hollywood ever greenlight any of my other books, and should there be an open casting call, I will definitely let you know in a vlogbrothers video. But it should be noted that I have exactly as much say in casting as you do.
WGWG has not been optioned. (To quote a real live movie producer who really said this about Will Grayson, Will Grayson, “The only thing Hollywood hates more than smart teenagers is smart, gay teenagers.” I hope Hollywood will prove this movie producer wrong someday.)
Fox 2000 and Temple Hill bought the rights to Paper Towns and hired Scott Neusdadter and Michael Weber to write the script, as they had for The Fault in Our Stars. The movie was directed by Jake Schreier and released in the summer of 2015. You can find out more about it here on the adaptations page.
An Abundance of Katherines was optioned by a small production company that in the end couldn’t get a movie together.
The rights to the Looking for Alaska movie are owned by Paramount.
Update in 2019: Looking for Alaska is now an 8-episode limited series on Hulu! More about that here on the adaptations page.
