Manager List

The first concrete step in any screenwriter’s career these days tends to be signing with a manager.

The good news is that many of them accept queries via e-mail, and if they like an idea you send them, they might ask to read the script.

But how does one know which managers to send to, that are worth one’s time? There are a lot of “managers” out there who might not be.

Good news: I have figured all that out for you, and created a free list (as of March 2023) that you can sign up to access below.

I’m a screenwriter best known for my work on the HBO miniseries BAND OF BROTHERS and FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON, for which I wrote multiple episodes, and won two Emmy and two Golden Globe Awards as part of the producing team. I’ve also sold series pitches (and written pilots) at NBC and FOX, worked on the writing staff for two primetime dramas, and written feature screenplays on assignment for companies like Universal, HBO, TNT, and Playtone. My book THE IDEA: The Seven Elements of a Viable Story for Screen, Stage, or Fiction was released in 2018. Click here to e-mail me.
