But you can find out who the successful agents are. Being an agent is really about signing clients. So find out who handles important clients. If you’d want to know who Lawrence Kasdan’s or Alvin Sargent’s agents are, all you have to do is call up the aforementioned Writers Guild and ask. You don’t have to be a member. Just pick up the phone and dial. They’ll tell you. It’s a service they willingly perform. There is a lot of information that is available to you. But Dan Rather isn’t going to tell it on the nightly news. You have to think and act and, most of all, hustle.
