Re: I was offered representation
Lips has solid advice, but be careful if you decide to do this. I'm not sure this is the scenario to leverage for meeting with other managers right now. If word got back to the manager in question it could be disastrous. If he was strictly looking you over for managing you (long term) and this was a writing sample or something he wanted to help you develop into a stronger script, yes, I would consider using that interest to drum up other possible reps.
However this rep wants this script now, and has the potential to get a deal asap as your manager and a producer. If you use that to start knocking on other manager doors to strike a "bigger" deal or "better" rep, you'd be doing yourself a disservice and quite frankly I think it would be unethical, in this particular scenario. If it was an agent, that would be a different story as it's done more frequently. But this is a unique situation. I could be wrong here but I think you should take pause before doing this.
