What's Not to Like

​Liking Your Agent or Manager
 
Well, I’ve had both. Sometimes they never call, so it never has to be a question of like or dislike. That has already been determined. 
 
As a rule, managers tend to be a bit more hands-on, so it does matter. I enjoyed my last manager very much. The scheduled times always netted great results and resulted in a project with tons of commercial potential.
 
Some agents prefer to work in the background and will not call unless they have something. They spend most of their goodwill signing you and have very little left over for developing a relationship. This does not mean they are not going to work for you. After all, the more money you make, the better their chances of buying an electric vehicle. As my friend and mentor, Jerry likes to say. Let them do their work. They will call you when they need you. Now, on rare occasions, you will find an agent that you really enjoy working with. 
 
I am lucky as am currently into one of those. I have two in point of fact. That story I will save for later. Remember, beggars can’t be chooser and you don’t really know which Guild signatory agent is going to express interest. Keep in mind, that I have one interested agent, one who really likes my latest romcom, who has still not gotten back to me. I am not sure where she falls. I will ask when I finally hear back.
 
For the record, I am currently being represented by the delightful Betsy MacGee and Visionary Talent. One thing I can be sure of, it’s going to be fun.
