Literary Agent

by Christopher Torretto
7th March 2022

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

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.

thank you all

My book came first (not finished) and have now decided on a title halfway through it. Will it remain that title, I'm not sure yet.

Are there any competitions which accept novelettes? I've written an 8,000 word story which I am really happy with but it seems like it's too short to self-publish so I was wondering whether there are any competitions, I haven't found any through online research.
