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.
