What You Need to Know About Getting A New Agent or Manager
The Bitter Script Reader offers some sage advice on how to choose…erm, advisors?
How to Vet a Potential Agent or Manager
by The Bitter Script Reader
I often get asked for advice about pursuing agents and managers. A lot of the questions I get revolve around how to get an agent to read your work. It’s not often I get asked questions that deal with the scenario of “I’ve caught him, now what do I do with him?”
So let’s say a potential rep likes your work and calls you in for a meeting. What now? The most important thing to remember is that it might not always be best to go with the first agent or manager to show interest. Not all agents and managers are created equal, and if you’re selecting someone with that much power over your career, it’s pretty damn important to determine if they’re right for you.
MINDY NEWELL: WHO’S THE REAL YOU WHEN YOU’RE WRITING?

This Could be Our Favorite TV Blog
We’re talking about From the North, an examination of all sorts of fascinating UK TV bits by Keith Telly Topping.
Make that an “eccentric examination.” This blog is so wonderfully personal that it makes our head spin. Take this recent paragraph about DOCTOR WHO, for example:
Yer actual Peter Capaldi his very self surprised attendees of a BBC Worldwide event on Monday, when he turned up on stage in his recently unveiled Doctor Who costume. The actor emerged from the TARDIS (not the real one, obviously, because that would have been against all the laws of God and man) and spoke, briefly, with presenter Graham Norton at the annual showcase taking place in Liverpool. The twelfth-that’s-really-fourteenth incarnation of The Doctor sports a dark blue Crombie coat with red lining, dark blue trousers, a white shirt and black Doctor Martens boots. Of the outfit – created by costume designer Howard Burden – Peter said: ‘He’s woven the future from the cloth of the past. Simple, stark, and back to basics. No frills, no scarf, no messing, just one hundred per cent Rebel Time Lord.’
