Literary Agents

Insurance Agents and Real Estate Agents are great! Many of the agents listed in Stage 32 are those types of agents (as I have been for decades). Are there any Literary Agents here on Stage 32? If so, I would love to hear from you! Smitty

G. Leo Maselli

I'm thinking that I'd skip literary agent and move directly to literary management. That's who I am now focused on finding. You out there?

Robert Smith Mfa

G. Leo, Let me know how that works out. I know of several writers who have literary managers and not one has received any tangible benefit from their relationship to date. That said, I am sure there are some out there who are worth working with. Smitty

G. Leo Maselli

Smitty, My thinking is that because I have a body of work (10 screenplays) some will be more commercial today than others. Should I rewrite the sci-fi/comedy for a audience? Should I drop the period piece as too expensive to produce, More career and product management oriented. Am I mad?

Robert Smith Mfa

No. Not mad. I say, "Whatever works!"
