A class member from the Screenwriters Conference in Santa Fe asked about building relations with agents, editors and producers.  Here's my response:

I have found that making pitches is a numbers game. The more you make the better the response. Generally you will not hear back from folks you send scripts to or you will get a quick rejection email.  Don't worry about that, just keep sending.

Another place to pitch to agents is at other conferences/ Remind me where you are from and I will try to suggest some for you.  The Willemette Conference in Portland is a great one (I believe it happens the end of Aug or even the 1st of Sept)    There is a good one in Denver Sept 12-13 info at www.rmfw.org.   Also another good one in Colorado Springs in April by Pikes Peak Writers.  Then there are all the Screenwriters ones in LA and more.

It's a good idea to build relationships.  Talk with agents, producers, editors at conferences and then ask them advice questions after, just like you did in contacting me. Some folks will actually answer a question rather than talk about your work.  The main point is to keep at it.  Persistence pays off.  Anne
