I’d like to know the right process to get in touch with literary agents. I’m a writer who wishes to get her book made into a film and I just can’t seem to get any leads on how to get in touch with a good literary agent. And it’s very important for me to find one who’s ready to work with me.

I am a veteran writer living in London. I have many stories in Farsi, and I have recently translated one of them into English. What can now be presented in English is a play called The Trilogy of Leaders. A collection of three stories related to three periods of ancient Iranian history. I thought it might be interesting for film or television companies. I want to know if you can help me in presenting this story to movie companies?

With respect

In reply to Paul Nicholson.

You are doing it wrong.

The agents did not even open that, much less read it.

Do not send your script to anyone unless they ask for it. If you send it without them asking they are obligated to throw it in the trash unread.

The right way is to send a query with the logline and politely ask them if they want to read your script.

Even better, send the query to a manager first – not an agent. An agent comes later. You need a manager first.

Hollywood has rules and a process. Its not about manners. Its a business about making money.

I’ve written a 109 page film script on the history of the three primary Abrahamic religions . It covers a multitude of (mostly famous) episodes throughout the ages, criticising the nonsense of religion. Most are comedic with others serious.

Having sent it to some agents I have received no replies: do these people have any manners? It seems that unsolicited writers have zero chance. Even Charlie Dickens would have a problem nowadays.

You’re dead right there Pamela: are these people complete fools?
I’m convinced that if Shakespeare came back today and tried to send “Hamlet” to any of these bad-mannered agents it would end up binned and old Will wouldn’t get an acknowledgement.

I would like to submit an Adventure movie script, but no agent or studio has a way to do it.

Why is it so hard to locate an Agent for film scripts? Ya can’t send out the script to the production companies because ya don’t have an agent!! Ya can’t find an Agent, because they want ya to have a manager!! Does any out there have a clue? I have a comedy/animal film script I would love to sent to BRON, or PIXAR or Warner, but they all ask for an agent to send it.. Dead end after Dead end..

Hello again
More about my script on Super Mario, a minor Producer tried helping me once, he read it and loved it. He was calling me non stop, he thought his famous actor friend would of been great to play Mario he put my script above all the other scripts he had but his agents didn’t want him to read it until we got permission from Nintendo, we couldn’t get it. I was sad so I started all over and entered Super Mario into Capital Fund screenplay contest it is a hot 100 winner #83 of 2019. Well if anyone is interested please contact me

Hi Marc, great work completing your first script. Please check out our script coverage page at the link below for a full breakdown of our 12 script development services. Re: Canadian agents the best bet is to sign up for an IMDbPro subscription, and then create a List in there of Canadian agents (search first for Canadian writers, then look to see who they’re repped by). Truthfully many will likely just have LA reps who handle all their work, in Canada or otherwise.

Here’s that link > https://industrialscripts.com/script-coverage-services/

We look forward to assessing your script!

I’d like to know if you have any leads on agents in the Canadian market. I just recently completed my very first screenplay, and need some assistance with getting it polished and then help marketing it out. Any assistance you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
