Screenwriter Agency Database
Visit the Screenwriter Agency Database

As a hopeful screenwriter, one of the most difficult challenges is finding an agent. While I knew that sending query letters was the second step, the first step was a little more daunting: figuring out where those query letters needed to go. All the existing research I knew of was expensive. It seemed unfortunate for the emerging screenwriter to have to pay a fair amount of money just to find out who they ought to be in touch with. This project aimed at changing that.

I figured since I needed the information myself, there was no good reason to keep quiet about it. I spent a week checking in with several agencies I found and finding out their policies, who to contact, and who could contact them. Throught that research I was able to put together a large database of prospective agents.

While the interface isn't one of my best, it was something I through together quickly. I wanted to get it out there to help people. Sometimes I forget about the project, but every now and then I hear from someone who found it and appreciated the effort. While I still have yet to make full use of it, it's good to know that I've been able to help others in my position.
