Industry Directory --> People Directory. In the Profession drop down, choose the 4th Talent Agent (it will be cut off but the 4th one is Literary).

Writers & directors: "literary"
Actors: "talent"
I have a theory that Hollywood re-appropriates common words for their own meanings in order to spot outsiders as fast as possible.
"Shibboleth"

Originally posted by jcgary View PostIn my experience, "literary" only refers to writers. The designation is fluid, though -- talent reps can rep writers, and literary reps can rep non-writers -- but "literary" is only used to refer to things dealing with writers.

(It started with a black screen, "offline" high-pitching sound and VO: "Right now, you're not watching any commercials." After a second: "Enough." and we ran with the trailer)
