Let’s be honest, we’ve all wondered how to go about having a career as a screenwriter. Sure, you know the basics: write some samples, get an agent and/or manager, and then go on to write happily ever after. But what does any of that look like in the real world? For instance, what are some steps you can take to improve your chances of meeting representatives and fostering a relationship with them? And what should you be doing after you sign with an agent/manager?
We know that this all seems daunting, but that’s why we have Matt Duffett here to guide us through it!
This 90-Minute Webinar Covers:
- How to get a manager and/or agent
- How to build the relationship with your representation
- How to sell a script and/or get your first writing assignment
