Wanted: One Agent or Manager
Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 18:01 Like all screenwriters, I’ve dreamed about the day I’d land an agent ever since I started writing scripts. In my mind, the question has never been if I would ever get an agent, but when. Some years ago I’d have said, “not quite yet.” These days, the answer is “soon!”
I’ve been a very good girl. Until now I’ve left the marketing alone and concentrated instead on developing my skills, building a portfolio, and making contacts in the industry. Now that I’ve laid the groundwork and established my credentials, I feel well equipped to shift into marketing mode. Like any new adventure, it's simultaneously exciting and scary. I plan to document my journey in this blog, both to help me stay motivated and on track and to share my experiences with other writers.
I'd love to hear from others who have blazed this trail before me. Any advice? Any difficult lessons learned along the way? Spread the wisdom!

I forgot about the distance hurdle for you, an agent would be a big help in expediting work in the US. If your screenwriting is anything like the sample from your book, you shouldn't have any problem landing one.
