Agency that represents both books & screenplays?
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but could anyone give me a place to start researching an agency that represents novels and screenplays, or has a division that does it?
I am asking because I want to write both novels and screenplays, and my ultimate goal right now is to break into Hollywood (as a screenwriter, then we'll see what happens from there), but I don't want to just be another wannabe right now (I'm also writing the book so that if the movie version gets ruined, then at least I had it written down the way I wanted it done via the book. I do have other concepts that I believe would make good movies as well, but one thing at a time ).
The only agency I know of right now that can represent books and screenplays is William Morris Agency (WMA). I'm going to try their book division in NY first, and they'll probably be the first place I send a query to, but I want to know what other agencies do both in case they reject me. Plus, I won't have to go looking for two different agencies later (one for my books, one for my screenplays) if I can avoid it (and as a side note, does anyone here have any experiences with the WMA, or know someone that does? I know that they're one of the biggest agencies representing screenplays in Hollywood, but what about their book publishing division? Is it as good?)
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
