What To Do After Signing With a Rep

with Daniel Seco
I go to the Coverfly website and just do a deep dive. Come across scripts that sound interesting and save them in a folder. I do that a few times a month.
The most effective thing is when people reach out or a writer comes on my radar… and I like it, how do I do a deep dive? Oh okay I go to their Coverfly profile. I get a sense of who they are, what accolades they’ve received, and most importantly, oh you have other work, I can take a look and get a sense of your ideas. There are so many things I consider that go beyond what makes sense query.
If you have a strong Coverfly profile and you are querying managers, include that as a way from them to do a deeper dive into who you are.
