Cunningham, Ryan H.

The what, where, and why of finding a manager. What can you expect from the relationship? Where do you find representation? And why is having an agent important? Join a screenwriter and their manager for an in-depth exploration on how to find, keep, and make the most of this important relationship.

Agents and managers will share their advice on how to start the process of finding representation, what agencies are looking for in a new writer, some of the most common problems they’ve encountered, and what a writer should expect from the relationship. Join this “Ask Me Anything” styled discussion for an inside look at the blood and guts of the business, and come prepared with questions on what you can do to best position yourself to transition from an aspiring writer to a working writer.

Get the answers to all of your questions about finding and working with a manager. At what point do you need one? What can you expect from the relationship? Join this panel of established managers for answers to all these questions and more!

A writer, a manager, and an attorney walk into a room. This isn't a joke; it's the future of your career. As a writer, it's important to have a team of people to back you up in your professional life. But who exactly do you need in your corner? How do you know what kind of representation or legal help is right for you? Join panelists as they discuss how to seek these people out and what you can expect from these relationships.
