Re: how do i go about getting an agent, as a writer?

Hi Matt
Like most things in life, it looks like a ‘People You Know’ solution.
I’ve been approached by agents and nearly ripped off by one. At the moment I seem to be able to get work under my own steam.
Good! More brass for me.
Yes, I would like an agent but one who would help develop my career, guide my writing style, get me into pitches. Get me or at least my scripts in front of the people I know would make the movie, if they read the script.
One that allows me to get on with my writing and the necessary research.
Not collect my manuscripts and put them in the post to someone else.
I find networking through the web a great place to make contacts and develop relationships. That’s how I got my first three commissions.
Other than that its cold calling or cold emailing and cold responses (if you get one).
