"My agent came from the publishing world, new at WM, looking to expanding his new writer client list and with a liking for casino screenplays. I was a casino dealer who happened to write a script about the inner workings of casinos and scamsters at that exact moment. He asked to see the script, then asked to see me. One meeting later, I was signed. The script was strong, sure, but the signing was just as much about luck and timing. Fact is, in today's environment, getting a WME agent through a query letter is impossible. They don't accept queries from unsoliticed sources. Look to the Guild Signatory list at wga.org for a list of agencies, then call to find out which agencies still accept queries."
