The what, where, and why of finding an agent: What can you expect from the relationship? Where do you find representation? And why is having an agent important? Join screenwriters and their agents 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.
