Therefore,\u00a0<\/strong><strong>you should also bring something to the table that demonstrates you are pro-active and will continue to advance\u00a0<\/strong><strong>your own career in concert with the agent. More on this later\u2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you haven\u2019t already done so with your agent, it is a good idea to ask how often and in what way would the agent\u00a0<\/strong><strong>give you progress reports to have an awareness of where and to whom your material has been submitted.\u00a0 Some\u00a0<\/strong><strong>agents prefer to give you periodic calls every few weeks or they may suggest that you call in bi-monthly (or some\u00a0<\/strong><strong>other time frame) for updates. Other agents will provide you periodic updates via e-mail.\u00a0 And some agents prefer to\u00a0<\/strong><strong>call you only when they have something meaningful to report.\u00a0 In this last case, if you don\u2019t hear from your agent\u00a0<\/strong><strong>within a reasonable time (a month or so), it\u2019s time for you to pick up the phone and call to see what\u2019s happening.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The idea behind setting ground rules about updates is that you don\u2019t want to be a pest in your agent\u2019s eyes on the\u00a0<\/strong><strong>one hand; and on the other, you don\u2019t want to die of benign neglect.\u00a0 If your calls or e-mails aren\u2019t being answered\u00a0<\/strong><strong>after several attempts, I would suggest that your current agent might not be the right fit for you.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Now I want to make several\u00a0 suggestions about what you might bring to the table of this agent\/client partnership:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> Stay abreast of what\u2019s happening in the business by trying to read everything you can get your hands on such as\u00a0<\/strong><strong>one of the trade papers (<u>Daily Variety<\/u>,<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong><u>Weekly Variety<\/u><\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>or<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong><u>The Hollywood Reporter<\/u><\/strong><strong>) or<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong><u>Written By<\/u><\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>(the WGA\u00a0<\/strong><strong>publication) or<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong><u>Creative Screenwriting<\/u><\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>magazine, and if not these periodicals, make sure that you read the movie\u00a0<\/strong><strong>reviews and film entertainment columns in your local paper or from newspapers on the Internet.\u00a0 Many newspapers\u00a0<\/strong><strong>can be accessed on the Internet and don\u2019t require actual subscriptions, such as the<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong><u>New York Times<\/u><\/strong><strong>,<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong><u>L.A. Times\u00a0 <\/u><\/strong><strong>or<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong><u>Washington Post<\/u><\/strong><strong>. Agents much prefer clients who are aware of, and knowledgeable about, the industry and the marketplace.<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> Network, network, network.\u00a0 It\u2019s a given that networking may be easier and more productive for those writers\u00a0<\/strong><strong>living in the L.A. or New York area, but you will be surprised at the amount of contacts you might uncover in your\u00a0<\/strong><strong>own area once you set your mind to network.\u00a0 Networking doesn\u2019t always \u201cnet\u201d you contacts, but it often may be enlightening and informative.\u00a0 Of course, the first avenues to explore are all your relatives (even long lost cousins\u00a0<\/strong><strong>who may have a connection somewhere in Tinseltown) and near and distant friends.\u00a0 Next, check with the college\u00a0<\/strong><strong>or university from which you graduated to see if any alumni are working in the film and television industry and if\u00a0<\/strong><strong>so, get their addresses and write to them.\u00a0 Did you have a favorite teacher in high school or college who was a fan\u00a0<\/strong><strong>of yours that you could write to and ask for possible contacts?\u00a0 Check your newspaper for upcoming film festivals, entertainment seminars or conferences, book signings (if the author is tied in some way to the film\/TV industry),\u00a0<\/strong><strong>writers clubs or workshops; and then go to these events and meet people.\u00a0 It should be easy to strike up\u00a0<\/strong><strong>conversations with people who share a common interest.\u00a0 Take film writing or production courses at your local\u00a0<\/strong><strong>college; the professor or others in the class may be a conduit to a contact.\u00a0 And, then talk to just about everyone\u00a0<\/strong><strong>else you know (attorney, barber, hairdresser, dog groomer, insurance agent or cable repairman) and see if they\u00a0<\/strong><strong>can point you to anyone they know.\u00a0 Keep a journal or log of all the contacts you make so that you can refer to it\u00a0<\/strong><strong>when needed.<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> Don\u2019t write in a vacuum.\u00a0 Take film and writing classes and\/or join writers&#8217; workshops.\u00a0 Share your work with\u00a0<\/strong><strong>trusted friends whose opinions you value. If you have several ideas for future screenplays ruminating in your head,\u00a0<\/strong><strong>talk to your agent about them as he\/she might be able to guide you as to what might be most marketable.\u00a0 And,\u00a0<\/strong><strong>don\u2019t be shy about asking your agent what kind of projects are currently in demand; it might be the impetus for\u00a0<\/strong><strong>you to start or finish another project you have had in mind. \u00a0Go see movies, rent DVDs, view cable and television\u00a0<\/strong><strong>movies and shows, and read as many produced scripts as possible (https:\/\/www.nyfa.edu\/student-resources\/10-great-websites-download-movie-scripts\/<\/strong><strong>sites\u00a0<\/strong><strong>offers several sites to find free, produced scripts to read); they all will add to your ongoing\u00a0<\/strong><strong>learning experience and expanding knowledge.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Now that you are well informed about the industry and marketplace, you can help yourself and your agent by\u00a0<\/strong><strong>querying production companies that seem to be a good fit with your project(s).\u00a0 However,<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong><u>first<\/u><\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>check with your agent\u00a0<\/strong><strong>to see if he\/she thinks it is a good idea to contact that company <\/strong><strong>or<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>person or that it doesn\u2019t conflict with his\/her\u00a0<\/strong><strong>efforts on your behalf. Sometimes you can write to a development executive or principal in a company who is\u00a0<\/strong><strong>looking for exactly what you have written.\u00a0 Be sure to state that you are represented by \u201cagent so-and-so,\u201d and that\u00a0<\/strong><strong>they would be making the submission on your behalf if the potential buyer has any interest.\u00a0 The potential buyer will\u00a0<\/strong><strong>give more credence to, and show more interest in, a writer who has an agent.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>There are three industry organizations that I would recommend that are helpful to writers who are trying to market\u00a0<\/strong><strong>their material (along with their agent or without an agent). The first is<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Jerrol LeBaron\u2019s InkTip (<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.inktip.com\/\"><strong>www.InkTip.com<\/strong><\/a><strong>), followed by David Zuckerman&#8217;s VirtualPitchFest (www.virtualpitchfest.com), and\u00a0<\/strong><strong>then <\/strong><strong>Jeffrey Gund\u2019s Info List (<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.infolist.com\/\"><strong>www.infolist.com<\/strong><\/a><strong>).\u00a0 These Internet sites offer information and access to potential buyers for your scripts or writing services.\u00a0 Again, you should check with your agent before submitting your projects to any potential buyer.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Enter your very best script(s) into screenplay competitions.\u00a0 \u00a0Information on screenplay competitions can be\u00a0<\/strong><strong>garnered from the trade papers and aforementioned magazines and web sites, and by just googling \u201cscreenplay competitions.\u201d\u00a0 One site that I have found to be most informative and has a rather extensive list of screenwriting competitions (and costs) is<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmmakers.com\/contests\"><strong>www.filmmakers.com\/contests<\/strong><\/a><strong>.\u00a0 Entering more than one competition can be a very\u00a0<\/strong><strong>expensive proposition, so it is best to study what kind of scripts do well in a given competition by checking out their\u00a0<\/strong><strong>web site and talking to your agent if you need further advice. \u00a0If you win or place well in one or any number of competitions, it can provide you and your agent with an additional \u201cselling tool\u201d when promoting you and your\u00a0<\/strong><strong>script.\u00a0 And, potential buyers often \u201ccomb\u201d these screenwriting competitions for both new talent and material.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> You should know that what you consider to be your very best work &#8212; your \u201cmasterpiece\u201d &#8212; can always be\u00a0<\/strong><strong>improved upon and benefit from taking a vacation from it and coming back with a fresh eye and perspective.\u00a0 I\u00a0<\/strong><strong>don\u2019t know to whom the following quote can be attributed (some say<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Ernest Hemingway), but it is so apt: \u201cWriting is\u00a0<\/strong><strong>re-writing.\u201d\u00a0 If your masterpiece isn\u2019t attracting the studios to the bidding war you dreamed about or it isn\u2019t\u00a0<\/strong><strong>resonating with an ever-growing list of potential buyers, then there is more likely room for improvement.\u00a0 If your\u00a0<\/strong><strong>agent has had the script out to numerous buyers and there is a consensus of opinion from those who have read and considered the project as to why they are passing, then you should take heed.\u00a0 Get back to work.\u00a0 If you have\u00a0<\/strong><strong>several ideas as to how you might fix a given script problem but are struggling with which way to go, talk it over\u00a0<\/strong><strong>with your agent.\u00a0 Sometimes an agent may offer a good idea or suggestion (perhaps one you never even thought\u00a0<\/strong><strong>of) or can dissuade you from a possible wrong direction.\u00a0 But, remember that the life of an agent is a very busy one,\u00a0<\/strong><strong>and you should use this option with your agent very judiciously.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Another, and perhaps more important, word of caution is to not rush your rewrites.\u00a0 You may be very excited\u00a0<\/strong><strong>about the changes you have made, but I strongly urge you to \u201csit\u201d on the latest revision for at least a week or two;\u00a0<\/strong><strong>let it \u201cmarinate\u201d for a while.\u00a0 You will often find that the moment you ship the newest draft off to your agent or\u00a0<\/strong><strong>trusted friend for their reaction, you will come up with a better idea and will continue to tinker with it.\u00a0 If you are\u00a0<\/strong><strong>still elated about the revisions a week or two later and you have definitely stopped tinkering, then you can involve\u00a0<\/strong><strong>your agent.\u00a0 It is important that you value and respect your agent\u2019s time and input; the last thing you want to do is\u00a0<\/strong><strong>abuse that relationship.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>If, after many trials and errors and extensive exposure to buyers, you haven\u2019t got an option, sale or assignment\u00a0<\/strong><strong>from that \u201cmasterpiece,\u201d it just might be time to put it away in a drawer for another day.\u00a0 I always believe that\u00a0<\/strong><strong>good material will get produced some day; you may just have to wait for a more favorable time.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> You should have more than one script, treatment or idea in your arsenal.\u00a0 Knowing which project to work on\u00a0<\/strong><strong>next will evolve from your knowledge of the market, your agent\u2019s advice and perhaps even more importantly,\u00a0<\/strong><strong>your muse.\u00a0 The next project you work on should be one that excites you, and hopefully, there will be a market\u00a0<\/strong><strong>out there for it.\u00a0 If you<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>write solely for what the market can bear, you might be doing yourself a disservice.\u00a0 Even\u00a0<\/strong><strong>if a project you have written does not sell, it could very well \u201csell\u201d you as a writer-for-hire because you generally\u00a0<\/strong><strong>do your best work when you are passionate about it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Having written or developed lots and lots of projects might sound ideal, but remember the old adage; \u201cIt is quality,\u00a0<\/strong><strong>not quantity that counts.\u201d\u00a0 Some writers struggle to come up with a second script, and on the other end of the\u00a0<\/strong><strong>spectrum is the writer who constantly comes up with new ideas and scripts.\u00a0 However, some of those writers would\u00a0<\/strong><strong>rather work up new ideas than refine, hone or polish one they have already written.\u00a0 Rewriting takes discipline, and\u00a0<\/strong><strong>some writers don\u2019t have it.\u00a0 Agents want quality projects to take into the marketplace, so why not give them what\u00a0<\/strong><strong>they need?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> I am going to share with you a truism that might surprise you; agents don\u2019t get you meetings; it\u2019s the caliber of\u00a0<\/strong><strong>your writing skill that does.\u00a0 Yes, the agent can push for a meeting for you, but that happens only when and if your material or credits have impressed a potential buyer or a colleague the buyer respects.\u00a0 Your material is your calling card for\u00a0<\/strong><strong>a meeting; the agent is the facilitator.\u00a0 Once your agent procures a meeting for you, you should start preparing for\u00a0<\/strong><strong>it right away by making a study of the production company and its credits (if any) by checking out the company\u2019s\u00a0<\/strong><strong>web site on the Internet or by checking out the credits of the principals in that company (start with typing in their\u00a0<\/strong><strong>names on<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/\"><strong>www.Imdb.com<\/strong><\/a><strong>).\u00a0 If you are not familiar with any of the company\u2019s credits, go rent and view a tape of\u00a0<\/strong><strong>their highest rated movie (many ratings can also be found on the Imdb).\u00a0 Knowing what a company (or a principal\u00a0<\/strong><strong>of that company) has done in the past might give you an indication of the company\u2019s tastes and proclivities which\u00a0<\/strong><strong>will help you determine which project or idea you might pitch to them first.\u00a0 Of course, your agent might have some advice for you in this arena, as well.\u00a0 Then I suggest you work on polishing the pitches on projects you may already\u00a0<\/strong><strong>have or work up pitches for other ideas now that you have a sense of what the company might look to produce.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Make sure that the pitches are concise and compelling.\u00a0 Practice the pitches out loud with a trusted friend or colleague\u00a0<\/strong><strong>and try to elicit constructive feedback.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>You should view your pitch meeting much like an important job interview, and conduct yourself accordingly.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Always arrive a bit early, well-groomed, nicely attired, and be prepared to be flexible.\u00a0 \u00a0Eye contact with the\u00a0<\/strong><strong>executives with whom you are meeting is key.\u00a0 You can make judgments on their interest (or lack thereof) by\u00a0<\/strong><strong>watching their reactions.\u00a0 If your pitches are not resonating, you can always ask them about what their company\u00a0<\/strong><strong>might be looking to produce or ask \u201cWhat\u2019s on your wish list of projects?\u201d\u00a0 If executives do not make an outright\u00a0<\/strong><strong>\u201cbite\u201d on one of your pitches but you feel you have made a good impression, ask them if you can bring future\u00a0<\/strong><strong>projects to their attention.\u00a0\u00a0 Take your lead from the executives as to whether they are conversational or all\u00a0<\/strong><strong>business.\u00a0 Don\u2019t try to engage \u201cbusiness-minded\u201d executives in a conversation of give and take as that can leave\u00a0<\/strong><strong>them with a negative impression of you.\u00a0 And, always thank them for their time and consideration.\u00a0<\/strong><strong>If executives with whom you are meeting offer you a critique of the script that they read that prompted the meeting\u00a0<\/strong><strong>with you, listen and avoid the impulse to defend.\u00a0 They might just have \u201cnailed\u201d the problem for you.\u00a0 But if you think\u00a0<\/strong><strong>that their ideas are all wet, don\u2019t contradict them.\u00a0 It is much more advisable to thank them for their thoughtful and\u00a0<\/strong><strong>helpful ideas, and perhaps tell them that you will take the time to digest or seriously consider what they have said.\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Once the meeting is over and you are past the tension such a meeting can produce, you will think more clearly\u00a0<\/strong><strong>about what they have said.\u00a0\u00a0 If what they said doesn\u2019t work for you, no harm nor foul.\u00a0 The object is to leave a good impression and hopefully obtain an \u201copen door\u201d policy with buyers who might buy something from you in the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> This next suggestion will probably be greeted with the least enthusiasm, as writers are considered to be artists,\u00a0<\/strong><strong>not bookkeepers.\u00a0 But, you should keep your own records.\u00a0 Just like the journal or log of networking contacts I\u00a0<\/strong><strong>previously mentioned, it is a good idea to keep a running log of all those people and companies to which your\u00a0<\/strong><strong>agent exposed your material.\u00a0 Include what projects were exposed, and the executive\u2019s responses to each.\u00a0 This <\/strong><strong>way, when you read that an executive who was a fan of your work when she was at Company A has just gone to Company B, or is now a producer with her own company, you might want to submit another project that\u2019s a better\u00a0<\/strong><strong>fit for that executive\u2019s new position.\u00a0 Your agent might be on top of this situation, but you can\u2019t and shouldn\u2019t count\u00a0<\/strong><strong>on that.\u00a0 You can bring this bit of information to your agent\u2019s attention so that he or she can act on it.\u00a0 Also, if you\u00a0<\/strong><strong>have changed agents in the interim, you have the information at hand to share with your new agent.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> Be positive!\u00a0 An agent tends to look forward to speaking to, meeting with or working for a client with a positive\u00a0<\/strong><strong>attitude and somewhat dreads having to speak with and \u201cshore up\u201d a negative one.\u00a0 And buyers, too, respond\u00a0<\/strong><strong>better to positive, upbeat people.\u00a0 That is not to say that you won\u2019t be able to ever commiserate with your agent; I\u00a0<\/strong><strong>am just suggesting that you don\u2019t make a habit of it.\u00a0 \u00a0Another aspect of being positive is to acknowledge what your\u00a0<\/strong><strong>agent has done for you by thanking them or writing your agent a congratulatory note when he or she has achieved\u00a0<\/strong><strong>a sale for another client.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><strong>There are many successful people who truly believe that thinking positively brought them their success.\u00a0 And, some\u00a0<\/strong><strong>take it even a step further by saying you should \u201cpicture your success\u201d in your mind, and it will happen.\u00a0 Why not try\u00a0<\/strong><strong>it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>written by Stephanie Rogers<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Copyrighted material.\u00a0
