I have 4 screenplays entered in the Studio Readers contest. They have my loglines posted. I've had 2 contacts regarding them. They want me to submit an email copt of mt script. First is The ES Agency the other is TSA The Screenplay Agency. Can anyone advise me on how to check them out before I send them anything?

Seasons Greetings and best regards,
Jim

probably watching DARK KNIGHT
Did you check out the bewares and background checks board? I know nothing about agents for screenplays, because I'm more interested in the local film scene. But I would bet that if you searched for a thread on the bewares board, you could find one.

ES Agency has a little mention here which doesn't bode well but decide for yourself:

But The Screenplay Agency has pride of place in our Top 20 Worst Agent Listings:

And read about it here:

In fact, The Screenplay Agency is all over this board and seems to be one that people would definitely advise you to stay away from.

Kudos on doing your research first, Jimbos.

WGA.org has a list of signatory agencies. It should be available online. If not, PM me and I'll see if I have a copy somewhere.

Behind you!
If you haven't already, you should also check Silver's listing in the HCD's most recent edition. (That's the Hollywood Creative Directory, and you want the Representation edition.)

Maryn, hoping this is helpful
