Whenever anyone would call to submit a script they were told <I>"We're not accepting any unsolicited submissions at this time."</I> And by <I>"this time"</I> they meant <I>"ever".</I><BR/><BR/>And yet... I was constantly reading submissions from people seeking representation. The moral of the story is the best way to get a script read by an agency is to have an 'in'. A lot of those scripts were from friends of existing clients who wanted their agent to consider representing their friend. If the agent values the client they're generally going to take a look at the script so as not to offend them.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, depending on your stage of life and situation, working at an agency is not such a bad place to learn the business and make contacts. I knew a couple of people who sold screenplays while working at an agency. Just my 2 cents...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-62501645545964776552007-10-04T22:42:00.000-07:002007-10-04T22:42:00.000-07:00Ah, but first Ross and Monica find out they were ...Ah, but first Ross and Monica find out they were both adopted from different parents... hmmm, still creepy in a Woody Allan -- Soon-Yi Previn kinda way.Richard Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04094016831874148306noreply@blogger.com
