Screenwriting : Agent by Janet Lynn

From what I've seen and read, if your writing is good enough, an agent will find you. Enter the best screenplay contests, shoot a short based on your feature, share your work with others and get them excited about it. Trust me, there's no magic bullet to a screenwriting career.

Better to focus on a manager ... have 3-5 scripts that are in top form.

I have an Agent - he found me at a screenwriting seminar that I hosted.

I don't have an agent, but I do have 19 produced scripts and many more sales and assignments where I was paid but they weren't made. Agents negotiate deals, so if you have a deal on the table you can probably get an agent.

I think you need to turn the question around - How do you make yourself visible to Agents?
