I have been thinking about getting an "Agent" however, I do not know the steps for finding one. I would also like to know how their fees work etc. If anyone can give me a run down on what to expect and general information I should know in getting an agent I would be grateful for some info. peace!

Alright thank you David and Dan... that was the very helpful information I was looking for. What are the best avenues for getting a descent manager if I went that route? and should I stay local?

I've heard that most managers get 15 percent. My good friend got a manager first, so it's probably a good rule of thumb. But, how do you find a manager? I'm an actor and screenwriter, so could a manager cover both career tracks?
Write something that sells. Or write something that is produced and is a hit. Then you won't have to go looking. :0
That all depends Chris... some agencies still will not even look at it unless you are represented on a professional level and standard. You are correct though- your chances are even greater if you are good.

What I meant was that you can get one once you prove you don't need one. :)
So if I have a script with a Producer/Director attached and ready to go they would check me out?
