The Good Agent Probably Is Not The Reader, He's Just The Guy Who Can Put Together A Deal.

I'm An Affluent Screenwriter And All That - I'm A Known Screenwriter, But I'm Not In The Fraternity Of The Very, Very Major People. I Would Say A Guy Like Ernie Lehman, William Goldman, And A Few Others Are Quite A Cut Above.
