--Marcello Lanfranchi

--Raph K.Yoyo

I've written the screenplay, how do I make it into a book ?
--Chris Bach

How do I marry an agent (when I'm already married)? ;-)
--Susan Arakawa

How do I get an interested director/producer to sign a NonDisclose Agreement? How do I have any protection of my IP when querying?
--Susan Arakawa

As a showrunner - how have you kept the original concept of the show throughout the series? Is the ending of the series already decided and then writers work "backwards" to create the episodes?
--Susan Arakawa

thanks for the opportunity to ask: how many and what genres of scripts should one have in inventory before approaching manager/agent?
--d evans

How can you tell that an agent is a good match?

Presented by

Robert McCullough

As a long-standing WGA member, writer-producer and showrunner with 200+ produced film and television credits, Bob McCullough has been contractually represented by nearly a dozen Hollywood agents. His reps have ranged from "boutique" one-man shops to the movers and shakers at ICM, WME, and CAA.

That professional representation enabled him to option multiple original screenplays, adapt best-selling novels to film, and build a multi-genre television career that included Saturday morning kid shows, prime-time ratings winners and history-making miniseries.
