I've had many reps. I'm looking for a new one. But my pro writer friend who is doing well pretty much said what I always figured. He's still doing most of the work. It's just his hustle this is getting things done. And all his other pro writer friends with big reps feel the same way.
My point is that my reps are really him and other writers I've met on this board. My writer friends are my mangers. They offer notes. Career advice. Support. Sometimes show my work to others in Hollywood that can help me. I try to do the same for all of them.
Best part is when my rep fires me or I fire them, my rep writer friends are still there. Willing and able. Helpful. Always there to read or listen to me bitch.
I just pitched a writer on this board an idea which he liked. Maybe he writes it. Maybe he doesn't. But I realized I was being his manager in that email. And he can be my rep in another.
We are each other's true reps. Never forget that.
Even if you are unrepped as you read this, you've got me. I've got you. You are never truly unrepped if you are a writer with writer friends.
