A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"The writer/representative relationship can be tricky for writers andrepresentatives to navigate. But thanks to Chad’s book, it just got a whole lot easier!"
-- Noah Rosen, Manager, Circle of Confusion; Producer, Dan in Real Life
"All eager, creative hopefuls should have a clear understanding of an agency's place in the entertainment industry and what an agent truly does before picking the person who will be representing their creative voice around town. Simply put, anyone who has the questions: ‘Why doesn't my agent call me back; what does s/he do all day??’, ‘My agent is telling me that I need another new sample!! What should I write and why?’, or ‘How do agents pitch me to executives?’ should read this book."
--Christel Miller, Network Executive, Current Programming, NBC
"Chad is that rare writer that not only has written for series television and sold pilots, he has the ability to take a confusing subject and make it accessible and understandable to writers and aspiring writers of any level. This book is AWESOME. Do yourself a favor, buy it, read it, then read it again."
-- Aaron Korsh, Creator/Executive Producer, Suits
