Hello everyone , firstly I hope you are all keeping well and being creative.Â

I am a screenwriter and have several scripts with known directors and producers with connections to Universal and Netflix etc. I sold seven scripts last month alone that are now making major offers of Hollywood stars. I am searching for an agent that can help me deal with contracts and get scripts to those that are unsolicited. I have done well getting contacts and scripts up till now but think it’s time to be represented.Â

Hello! I'm not sure where the right place is to ask this - I hope it's here!
I'm looking for a couple of beta readers in the medical industry for my completed YA contemporary novel.
The novel's main theme is mental health, specifically eating disorders, depression, and self-harm, and I would really love to find a beta reader in the medical industry who can pinpoint anything that they think might be too triggering for young readers before I start working with an editor.
We have a team of highly qualified academic experts for those who often search like help with essay writing. They have expertise in hundreds of subjects from a variety of genres. So, no matter how complex or rare your topic might look to you, our writers can easily write high-scoring essays on them. Moreover, they’ll submit you the final draft of your paper before the mentioned deadline.
I have completed the first short story (c6000 words) in what will be a five part series for ages 6 - 10 . The second is almost complete and I have outlines of the remaining parts.
Should I detail the entire story arc to agents when submitting Part One?
The story stands alone but would also work with illustrations, is this something an agent will suggest or should it be mentioned in the submission?
I am new to the submission process so all advice greatly appreciated.
I am reading The Writers& Artists Yearbook, but really need something to do with song writing. Is there a similar publication for musicians?
Thank you,
Hilary
This rule "No simultaneous submissions" bothers me a lot. It's present in most, if not all submission guidelines. I understand that publisher doesn't want other publishers to have the exact same novel, that is perfectly understanding and valid point. Problem is, at least in my experience, most publishers will not answer to your submission, ever. Not even a short formal letter of rejection which I would really appreciate.
I have written an article describing how this NAWE coaching can help writers weather the pandemic. Pease see 'Writing in Education', Winter 2020, issue 82.
I hope that the new W&A website encourages more activity from members. Looking back through discussion threads, I see that the most popular posts are more than a few years old. The more that members contribute will encourage others to actively participate.

My first book was published in 2018. However, the publishers (name withheld) have since disappeared. There website is gone, there have been no recent posts on the usual social media suspects, etc. My book is still being sold under their name on Amazon, however I would like to re-publish with someone else if possible. I've read my contract and as far as I can tell the term of the contract was for two years (renewable by mutual agreement). I was hoping for some advice as to where I stand with approaching agents, etc. Also, how do I get it removed from Amazon.
