HOLLYWOOD SMALL LICENSED AGENTS (25 Literary Talent Agents)
by Dov S-S Simens on November 28, 2016
HOLLYWOOD POWER AGENCIES
There are 7 mega powerful Hollywood agencies, with 50-200 agents each for Writers, Directors, Filmmakers, Actors, Singers, Comics and Speakers, that more than likely will not either take your phone call or accept your unsolicited manuscript.
They are…
(1) Agency for Performing Artists (APA) at 310-888-4200.
(Make sure your script is typed in the correct format…. Use either Final Draft, Celtx, MovieMagic or Scrivener screenwriting software.)
(2) Creative Artists Agency (CAA) at 424-888-2000
(3) The Gersh Agency (TGA) at 310-274-6611
(4) International Creative Management (ICM) at 310-550-4000.
(5) Paradigm Agency at 310-288-8000.
(6) United Talent Agencv (UTA) at 310-273-6700.
(7) William Morris Endeavor (WME) at 310-285-9000
They likely will not accept you as a client, unless you are referred by an Entertainment Attorney, Film Financier or Executive Producer with whom they have already profited or from one of their in-house famous Actors or celebrity Directors.
However, who might answer your phone call and possibly read your script or look at your headshot are the smaller, but licensed, Hollywood Agents.
Hollywood agencies come in 3 sizes.
(A) POWER AGENCY: 50-200 Agents
(B) BOUTIQUE AGENCY: 10-20 Agents
(C) SMALL LICENSED AGENCY: 3-5 Agents
HOLLYWOOD SMALL LICENSED AGENTS
Two weeks ago I gave a list of the 7 Power Agencies (50-200 agents) and last week I gave a list of 15 boutique Hollywood Agencies (10-20 agents) and below is a list of 15 small, but licensed, Hollywood literary agencies with 3-5 agents each.
(Make sure, besides using proper screenwriting software, that due to agents and script readers allegedly only read 10-pages. Thus, grab make sure your script hooks the reader instantly on page 1.)
The saying is “You can lead a horse to water but….”
Thus, the agent list contains just the the agency name with street address and it is up to you to Google their phone numbers, websites and writers’ agents’ name.

SUBMIT SCREENPLAYS FOR SALE: Protect Your Script
Remember to CYA. Write your script. Register it first with the WGA (Writers Guild of America). Copyright it next with the LOC (Library of Congress).
(Registering a screenplay costs about $25. Copywriting a screenplay costs $45 to $65.)
Now, you have created something and with the registration receipt and copyright confirmation, both dated, you have proof on the date you created.
Once you have written, registered & copyrighted then, and only then, can you call or write to contact a literary agent to setup pitch meetings and hopefully have your script optioned by an established production company.
Happy Filmmaking,

Good information. How to talk with them, what to say any ideas?
Thanks Dov!
You can submit to larger agencies if you do your homework and network effectively. Oh, and agents generally request .pdf format.
Appreciate the detailed breakdown of Hollywood agencies Dov. Your insights on smaller licensed agents offer a fresh perspective for aspiring writers. Looking forward to checking out your film schools.
