Question
Hi Russell,

I'm a new writer and I'm trying to get some exposure through any agency that's willing to try me out.

My question is, are most agencies/agents the same with respect to their contacts, such as producers, and other significant people who get things off the ground? Or is there a great deal of variability between agencies?

I would imagine that an agency such as the William Morris agency would have better contacts than a smaller, less renowned agency.

Many thanks Russell!  

Answer
Hi Brian,

I'm sorry to say I can't help on this question.
You may better be served by addressing this to a writers' forum or an agents' forum to get these answers. This is out of my area of expertise.

Sorry.

Russell

PS - If you find out any info send it to me, so if someone else asks the same question I can at least point them in the right direction. (I'll give you 'screen credit' for your info)
