SEEKING LIT AGENT
Produced, award-winning screenwriter and producer seeking lit agent to rep him as both writer and producer
I'm pasting a short resume below. I'm extremely easy to get along with, have great spec scripts and, even more importantly, am experienced and highly skilled at doing writing assignments -- from polishes and rewrites to doing adaptations and writing from concept or logline. I'm a pro, have managed expectations, am talented, skilled and quick. I'm the ideal client (okay, maybe Sorkin, Kaufman and Zaillian are ideal).
