Hey, TSL fan, producer Jeff here with a quick production note.

This is actually going to be part one of a two-part conversation that we had with incredible literary managers, Daniela Gonzalez, and Garrett Greer. It's a really insightful conversation, particularly for emerging writers when it comes to a post-strike industry. So make sure you listen all the way through and make sure you don't miss part two next week. Hey everyone, welcome back to the screenwriting life. I'm Lori Ann McKenna, and today we're going to be talking about representation. I'm joined by two literary managers, Danielle Gonzalez and Garrett Greer, who are prepared to answer all your questions like, how do I get a manager? When is it time to start looking for representation? What should I be looking for? What are some rep flags? Once I have a manager, how do I work with them? What are the expectations in a healthy working relationship with a rep? What's the difference between a manager and an agent? Do I need both? And, of course, is it true that once I get a manager, I will be working full time forever? Spoiler alert, no. We've talked about representation before on the show, but today we're revisiting it because

things have changed since our last episode with reps, specifically, what does it mean

for emerging writers who are building their careers post-strike?

So first, I'm going to introduce Danielle Gonzalez.

She is a literary manager at Good Fear

Content, an LA-based management and production company known for representing generation-defining

talent. Ooh, I like that. Daniela's TV clients have written for Severance, The Wilds,

Venezuelan born, with a childhood in Southeast Asia, now calling the United States home. Prior to

All right, let's move on to Greer.
