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.
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.
Long story short - In Spring 2017 my 2yr old daughter gets cancer. My partner and I enrich her imagination throughout treatment to keep her spirits up.
Much of the silliness we concocted forms the basis for a picture book that I set to work on and, after 3 years, have now completed.
The book is designed to appeal to all kids, but to have extra meaning to kids in hospital (and their parents) giving them a little bit extra courage and hope.
If I have to self publish, I will. But I first want to try and get an agent, publisher, yadda, yadda.
Hiya all. Does anyone know anything about the posts on facebook from publishing houses for new writers to do an assessment or fill in a questionaire? Out of curiosity I almost filled one in but then decided I didn't want anchoring into some dodgy deal with anybody so I didn't bother. Apparently they assess your writing skill to see what help you need to get your writing published.
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

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.
I am currently writing a book about my favorite artists and bands. I will be mentioning many song titles and band names. I will not be quoting any song titles and there will be nothing negative about any of the songs or artists.
Where do I stand from a legal/copyright point of view in the UK?
