My script is a current Page Awards semifinalist. I sent out queries to companies and agencies, and a few of them asked to read the script. One of the management companies, wrote me today and said he wanted to query five producers. He also sent me a title page to put on my script, which is really just the same title page with his info instead of mine.
He named the companies, and three of them I know, two I don't. But that's not the issue. He said in his email that he'd like to send this script out, and if he couldn't get a sale, then "I'm free to find other management." But if he did make a sale, I'd sign a standard contract with him (15%).
Is this something that's done, letting someone shop the script without an agreement in place? I mean, I have the email as proof that I'm not under contract, and I'm not worried about copyright, but I've never encountered this before.
EDIT: Issue resolved! (I'll let you know if anything happens)
