100 Top Screenwriting Managers to Kickstart Your Career
This is a comprehensive list of the top screenwriting managers and literary management companies currently working (mainly in Hollywood) who are worth submitting queries to.
There are over 100 managers on the list, and the best news is that each one is looking for new writers just like yourself.
While it’s true screenwriting managers are often flooded with queries and submissions, they’re often much more open to receiving them than screenwriting agents. You can read more about why it’s a good move to contact managers over agents in our post, How to Get a Screenwriting Agent and Manager.
This screenwriting managers list is divided into 3 sections.
• Accepts unsolicited queries. These are all managers and management companies who welcome queries and submissions from writers without representation and without a referral from an industry professional they know.
• Does not accept unsolicited queries. These screenwriting managers and literary management companies state they do not wish to receive unsolicited material from writers.
• Unknown submission policy. These script managers and companies don’t state a preference one way or the other.
Hopefully, this will better help you navigate all the various managers in the list, although, when it comes down to it there’s not as great a difference between “solicited” and “unsolicited” as you may imagine. We’ll discuss this in more detail below.
Preparing to query screenwriting managers.
The first thing you’ll want to do is make sure you have at least two high-quality screenplays in your portfolio that are ready to send out into the industry. How do you know when they’re “ready”? When they’ve achieved at least one of the following:
• Received high praise from an agent, literary manager, producer or executive
• Created a buzz on an online pitch site, such as the Blacklist
• Won or placed very highly in one or more of these best screenwriting contests
• Received a “Recommend” from one or more script coverage services
If your screenplay hasn’t achieved all or any of the above, we highly recommend that you DON’T START SENDING IT OUT to screenwriting managers. They get a ton of submissions and yours will most likely get lost in among them.
Don’t make the same mistake as many aspiring writers by querying screenplay managers without having scripts that are guaranteed to impress. Two, but preferably three, amazing screenplays.
There’s no point putting yourself out there with just one awesome script if that’s all you have. The first question any respectable manager will ask is, “What else have you got?” And you’d better be able to show them another script that’s equally as good if you don’t want to blow your big chance right there and then.
The query letter.
Next, you’ll need to craft an effective query letter, or “query email” in most cases.
Make no mistake: this pitch needs to be red hot. It needs to be short, sweet and compelling, enticing its reader to simply have to read that screenplay.
This is your one moment to shine.
Include a logline, short synopsis of the script and simple personal bio, remembering to mention that time you met at the Austin Film Festival, that referral you received, or the fact you placed highly in the Nicholl contest.
We don’t have space here, but there’s a ton of useful information out there on how to write a great query letter. Look it up and, if needs be, even pay a pro script consultant to take a look at it before approaching the screenwriting managers on this list.
It may also be a good idea to write a longer synopsis of around two to three pages in length, in case a manager requests to read that first rather than the whole script.
Finally, create a spreadsheet, detailing the name of each Hollywood management company or literary manager you’ve approached, who you spoke to or emailed, and when, and what the outcome was. Trust us, this step is invaluable.
Working out which screenwriting managers to query.
While our list of script managers is pretty comprehensive, they may not all be suitable for you, or open to accepting your submission. Therefore, it’s worth drilling the list down a little so you’re only querying those managers who may not only make a good fit, but also be likely to be interested in your material.
The obvious place to start with is the screenwriting managers in the first section of the list who openly accept unsolicited queries.
These managers don’t mind if you’ve never met, haven’t been referred by anyone they know in the industry or if you don’t have any representation of any kind.
They’re actively looking for new writers and so there’s nothing standing in your way from querying them. (There may well be many of these managers hiding in the third “unknown submission policy” section too.)
Breaking the rules.
This is not to say screenwriting managers who say they don’t want to receive unsolicited material necessarily mean it. It’s not as uncommon as you may think for writers who’ve ignored the “no unsolicited submissions” notice and sent in a query anyway, to receive an email saying, “Normally we don’t accept unsolicited queries, but please send over your script.”
There’s no harm in sending these screenplay managers in the second section a query also. After all, what have you got to lose? The worst that can happen is your email will be deleted, but if you send an outstanding query and logline, you stand a slim chance of it catching someone’s attention.
Screenwriting managers and genre.
Another good tactic is to first target all the managers on the list who share your genre sensibilities. Look up all those who represent writers who’ve written movies similar to ones you’ve personally enjoyed, and are similar to your own, and reach out to them.
If you have a low budget indie thriller, for example, it’s possible that the literary manager who represents Jeremy Saulnier is more likely to be interested in your material than one who represents Judd Apatow.
As a new writer, it’s also a good idea to start by targeting the smaller literary management companies and newer screenwriting managers who are yet to establish huge client rosters, as opposed to the bigger, more established managers.
Smaller companies and new managers often have more time and attention to give aspiring writers and their blossoming careers and are hungrier for success.
Sending your query letter.
Once you have everything in place and the time has come to actually contact the managers on your list, make sure you find out who to address your query to and what their individual submission policy is.
If they accept unsolicited queries, they’ll often have specific instructions on this on their website. (We’ve linked to these pages in the list.) If, as in many cases, they don’t, then it’s a case of trying to find the name of an assistant at the Hollywood management company who you can personally address your query to.
Try to avoid sending generic queries to “Whom it may concern,” or “Sir/Madam,” as this just looks like you’re mass querying everyone in town at once. If all you have is a phone number or email address, but no idea who to contact, call or email and ask who you should send your query to.
Getting personal.
Once you have a name, individually craft your query to that person and either call or email them. (There are hardly any managers left who only read actual snail mail letters.)
If you have a confident phone persona, calling can be a great option as it’s a better way of establishing a human connection. An email, on the other hand, can easily wind up in a trash folder, be deleted or simply forgotten about.
Sending out queries to screenwriting managers means just that—you’re only querying whether they’d be interested in reading the script, so avoid sending it right away. Or anything else, like a full synopsis, character breakdown, pictures and such like.
How and when to query screenplay managers.
Most managers also prefer to receive queries in the body of the email, rather than in an attachment. If they’re intrigued by your query, they’ll get in touch and request to read either a full synopsis or the screenplay itself.
Finally, make sure you don’t send your query letters out over weekends, public holidays or other times when screenplay managers are less likely to be fully focused on work. The best time is probably mid-week.
Next steps.
If you don’t hear back right away, don’t panic. Resist the temptation at all costs to leap on the phone and call all the literary management companies you queried, demanding to know why they haven’t yet responded. If they don’t get in touch, they’re probably not interested.
However, there are a number of possible favorable responses to your query:
• A request to read a synopsis. Great, send it in!
• A request to read the script. Even better. Ask what their submission policy is and send it in
• A request to read something else. In this case, you should ask whether they want to read a synopsis or the whole script and send it in
After receiving one of the three responses above, it’s permissible to follow-up your submission to your screenwriting managers after a couple of months. Again, keep the query to the point, friendly and professional.
While you’re waiting…
But while you wait, you should be writing, honing your craft, networking and hitting up more screenwriting managers with fresh queries. If you don’t hear anything back or anything favorable about your query, synopsis or screenplay after a literary manager has read it, then it may be a case of rethinking your strategy or the quality of your work.
The great thing is that screenwriting managers genuinely want to find new talent.
They need you as much as you need them, so you have more power in this situation than you may realize.

But first… an IMPORTANT NOTICE
As we stated in the first section of this article, you only have one chance to impress so make sure you have at least two high-quality screenplays under your belt BEFORE querying the screenwriting managers on this list.
All of the information contained in the list is freely available on the web from the screenwriting managers themselves, but they don’t like being inundated with material. Go easy on them and on the follow-ups, and be polite and professional.

Thanks very much for the well described suggestions and extensive list. I previously obtained representation after winning the Nicholl Competition, so at that point I had skipped the blind query stage. Your info will be incredibly helpful while I seek a new rep. Thank you.
You’re welcome, Andrew – thanks for reaching out!

Hello I’m Ronnie

Thanks for such a great list, can’t wait to dive in!
I’m loving this. Thank you for taking the time to put it together. Do you know if there are animation managers on the list?
Hey Mac – there may be managers who deal in animation but bear in mind that this genre is usually done in house at the studio, rather than via the spec market.
This is very helpful. Thank you for the advice. I wrote a manuscript based on a True Story with a strong female lead, Can you direct me to a literary manager list who’d be interested in a Dramatic True Story.
How can I protect my story/theme/idea ? Or how can I make sure if the story/idea/theme will not copy?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Shy, ideas cannot be copyrighted, only completed scripts.
Hey guys did you guys know that even some actors are accepting scripts for example last week I reading about some ideas how to get your screenplay in Hollywood and some of the ideas was put your screenplay on blacklist and IMDb pro and l tried IMDb pro and an actor got a glimpse on my screenplay and he encouraged me to get a manager soon because my screenplay is so interesting to read
Good stuff, Marvin. We talk a lot about how you should target managers in this post.
First time writing a screenplay. I unfortunately was unable to finish my synopsis and logline because Microsoft Word sucks. But I did finish the script I can’t say for certain that it is meeting Peak standards. But I know that the idea itself is very catchy and I would hope someone would look over it as I am not very good at doing this this as it is my first time.
Even if you just critique it I would be satisfied I just want to know how does it Stack Up. Be willing to send it to you on request just also send me anything credentials so that I know that I’m talking to the right person I’m sorry I just don’t know since it’s my first time and I don’t want to potentially get scammed just being cautious.
Yup, MS Word isn’t great – especially for writing scripts! We have a ton of script coverage services you can check out here.
Hey I have a request to make , when approaching these managers what do I have to do to get started
It’s best to have at least two solid scripts in your portfolio.
I really am grateful for your advice and directions. My story or should I say short story is about animals and most likely to fall under the cartoon section. Does it count? Can I sell to cartoon networks? Do the mangers accept cartoon-like scripts.
Kindly assist me more.
Thanks, Ikechukwu – cartoons are usually done in-house and unlikely to accept spec submissions.
Thanks for your help.It just that my script is perfectly fine but it is hard to find a manager though.
Can someone please tell me? How to get a list of managers, for my screenplay. I would be so happy if someone, would just e-mail the list to me. Thank you

Hello. Please I’m in Africa. Can I get someone to represent me?
Hey email me at fkbosire@gmail.com I have a couple of ideas that may help
If I need at least two screenplays in my portfolio is it acceptable to have a pilot episode and the second episode?
If I need to create a standalone screenplay then could it be anything like short film or comedy considering my pilot episode is drama in 1h format.
Kind Regards.
You’d usually want to have two separate original scripts in your portfolio. A second episode of the same show doesn’t really count. Thanks for reading!
Media Property
I own the intellectual property of media across multiple platforms. The website, www.durangocide.com covers a case study and has links to further media. Would one of your associates be interested in development rights?
Sorry John, we’re not a production co.
i need a manager,
ingabire05@gmail.com
I got my manager through listing them on Coverfly, and having two scripts in the top 1%, and one in the top 8%. Jon Brown, Ensemble Entertainment contacted me through Coverfly.
Congrats, Tamra! Thanks for reaching out.
Thank you for all these resources! I have English and Spanish scripts. Do you recommend I call the agencies on your list and see if they accept Spanish scripts?
Thanks Joaquin! I would guess they only accept scripts in English but you definitely only want to query those who you think might jive with your script’s genre/subject matter.
If you have a script set in Britain, is it worth sending to USA?
Thanks Phil C
Phil. Yes. All the best on your script writing journey.
Could you tell me what scripts I could read, in the area of an original screen play in historical fiction dealing with Soviet spies from the 1930’s?
Thank you for your good heart to help. God bless you.
Thanks Emmanuel – happy writing 🙂
Is the manager list a free download?
Yup.
So I’ve written a TV Pilot and the overall series theme is a sort of Post Apocalyptic scenario, however, the pilot still takes place when humanity is “normal.”
Would it be wise to write a 2nd episode where we now see what this post apocalyptic world is like? I just have a feeling when industry starts reading it they might say, “well this is great but what does the world in which the series look like now?”
Thoughts would be helpful.
Question on length for teleplays. Will readers be dismissive of a script that might be “too long” for a half hour comedy?
I know the rule of thumb is 60 sec per page and that most half hour shows actually clock in at 22 mins (although, with shows on streaming services that’s become more fluid). But I’ve read teleplays for half hour shows that are 40 to 50 plus pages.
Greetings.
I appreciate your work and the list you provide us.
I will comment on my experience: I sent several inquiries (unfortunately for not knowing) almost all of them on the weekend.
The query I made on Tuesday had an answer the following Thursday, they asked me for the script along with a form.
I sent this on Monday October 12th.
Public holiday in my country, Venezuela, I don’t know if I should send it again, what do you recommend?
I made the mistake of sending material on non-due days, weekends and Mondays.
Thanks for your reply.
Thank you for sharing CJ, we don’t have advice on this, but we wish you all the best.
great-job, al. amazing platform, take for that’s screenwriting of the differents projects. so, good.
Thanks for the feedback, Oscar!
I’m not sure to say but should I send a spec screenplay and unwanted query letter to screenwriting manager. Because I’m a teenager and I have to follow my dream.
It’s best not to send your script – just send a targeted query letter to someone you think might be receptive to reading it.
Basic things your script readers would say: 1. Correct your spelling & Grammar.
2. Put your last seen first. Change everything. 3. Too long or too short. 5. Rewrite and
4. My fee is $100 up front.
Thank you! I can’t wait to find a manager to help start my career! I may be only 15, but I really hope someone doesn’t see age as an issue and decides to be my manager.
It’s always the quality of the script, Sydney – good luck!
This is a bit much I just need a agent for my scripts. I no what I’m doing I’m confident in all my work if i can find s list of agents for my protection I’m not interested in sending my books out to people for proofing i no my work is what it’s supposed to be if you’ll have agent names or were i can find that info I’d greatly appreciate the help thank u miss stinnette

Hi, I’m so grateful for this guidance , I have some questions,
1. Is there something different we should follow for writing query letter for short scripts (2 – 10 pages) ?
2. Do script managers accept animation script or it doesn’t make difference that it be animation or not ?
3. In case that script needs editing , can manager have the script edited by his editors he knows ?
Thanks.
I am so impressed that you provide this service. What a great thing to do! I have used your services before and have found the comments from your Readers to be very helpful and professional. Again, thnak you so much.
Hello,
I am Satish from India, can you please share the list of agents or manger and their contact no or email id with me.
You need to follow the link – cheers.
P.S. I am using the U.S. Copyright office to copyright, so maybe that’s all one needs to do.
Okay, don’t laugh. I know everyone says this. And I know many respond by saying don’t worry about this because no one has the interest, time, energy, etc., to steal someone else’s idea. AND everyone thinks their idea or screenplay is “one-of-a-kind” and “amazing.” (Which is good to at least have that belief and confidence, right?) Those caveats said, we do hear about stories, songs, and all kinds of intellectual property, being stolen. Maybe that’s only a very small percentage that grab the headlines? But what if one truly might have a very singular, unique idea, the writing quality, or lack thereof, aside. No brag, but it really is pretty crazy and unique. (But marketable/pitchable. It’s not “Being John Malkovich.” Ha ha.) The half dozen people I’ve shared it with – family members, friends, and one colleague at work – were genuinely blown away by the concept. (And I know these people well, so I can tell when they’re really sincere about something.) Here’s the thing: if one is sharing their idea with others, submitting to contests, uploading to sites for all to see and critique, doesn’t one run the risk of being ripped off if one truly has a unique, marketable concept? Or am I being silly? Or does putting it out there in all those public ways protect one should someone else make your movie? You can tell me I’m being a worry wart for nothing and I’ll move on, but it would suck to lose an original idea, so I feel I have to at least ask some experts about this possibility. Thanks. Btw, your guidance and links to resources is really great and well done. Thanks.
Hi Todd, yes, the US Copyright office should suffice – have you seen this post on copyrighting scripts?
No, I had not seen it, so will check it out. Thank you!
Hi I would like for you guys to send a agent/manger that wouldn’t mind working with a up coming writer with alot of ideas

Thank you

Good luck, Kelly!
Thank you 100 times over for this xoxox
Thanks, Hanna!
Really really great information! Thank you!
Katelyn, thanks for reading!
The List is no longer there….
Hello! I can’t download the list – it gets me into “page not found” after I typed my email, name and clicked “download manager list”. Is it still downloadable?:)
can anyone tell me if I need to buy Final Draft to write my script before sending to managers?
You don’t have to buy FD but we recommend purchasing a professional screenwriting software. You can find our top 5 choices here.
How do I know how long to wait before following up with a manager? Thanks great list!
It’s best to leave it at least a couple of weeks before following up.
Thank you Script Reader one million and please continue the great work.
Thanks, Dani!
One question. Is it acceptable to eMail the Q letter, or should it be mailed?
It’s okay to email but a proper letter is probably better as most writers just email.
Alright. Another question-When writing the Q letter I have multiple screenplays completed (3) I noticed most Q letters are centered around one at a time. Seems a bit redundant to mail 3 separate letters. Is there a proper way to combine all three letters? Plus I also have multiple new screenplays and a TV Pilot in progress. I don’t want to seem to push-e but seems like I would be a better fit for a company to get involved with because I have an ongoing creative process/ideas in play.
I have sent my script to dozens of these screenwriting managers and have not gotten any where what am i doing wrong??
We’d recommend getting someone to check your query letter/email and approach. Maybe it’s not the script but something that’s putting people off before they read it.
Nice website. Would you tell me the title of the latest blockbuster you help created. Thanks.
So Madhu you think good writing is limited to the latest blockbuster? Thank you for making a positive contribution.
DO you have a service where I can pay you to blast my query letter to screenwriting managers?
We don’t, AJ. There are other companies out there that will but it’s probably best to put in the time and do it yourself.
Pretty cool list. helpful to know the names cause otherwise I’ll just be googling the word managers. But I wish I knew which kinds of movies they did. One of the tips says to look up by Genre, but I none of these names are sutomatically recognizable. What genre or top movies do they have?
Fantastic list, saved me much research of screenwriting managers
You’re welcome, Vince!
I wrote a political thriller in Hebrew, which weaves the assignation of JFK and the Israeli Nuclear capability (according to foreign sources).
Can I forward an abstract of my book to a Literary management company for evaluation, whether it has commercial potential?
Can you recommend a Literary management company?
Do the same for agents please.
What a wonderful service. One would expect to pay big bucks to obtain similar information from a retail book, or spend many hours of searching to attain this information. Thank you.
Thanks, Randy – much appreciated!
Dear Sirs,
I wish I could read some ready complet screenplay for me to optimize my reading and learning in writing.
I have already read some books and I also have written some screenplays, but I still do not feel so confident to send it to an agent.
I live in Brazil.

Nô Brito.
Hi there. We’d recommend checking out these posts on how to write a script.
Hi! Is getting a producer’s manager the same folks/ companies and process?
Hamza hope
i just want to take some time out to say thank you to you guys, you’re amazing and God bless you all.
I’m a young writer from Nigeria and I’ve been selling script, most of my clients always say to me to look out into Hollywood because of my kind of storytelling. I’ve sold over four films here.
I have series and feature films, romantic to actions on ground i need to get it out into Hollywood. I really need help.
you tools has really improve my skills in a great way…Thank you.
Thanks for reaching out, Hamza, and best of luck with the writing!
Hi! I was wondering how often this list is updated. I see from my Google search that this was originally published in August 2018.
Thanks a lot!
I’m a Scriptwriter based in Mumbai, India. This list and your articles are a gold mine. Now we need to dig out our stories and make them glitter!
That’s the spirit, Deoanand – best of luck with the writing!
What might happen if I contact a manager who knows I contacted another manager? Should I only contact one at a time?
Contacting one at a time would take too long. I wouldn’t worry about it, the chances of two managers discussing your script are pretty remote.
You guys are the best! This is a goldmine.
Thanks a lot, Kenneth!
WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE. You guys are out here doing the hard work for us writers, BLESS YOU.
Thanks, really appreciate it 🙂
Can you repost the download link for the list of managers? It isn’t on this page, or anywhere else on this site.
You need to click the “download managers list” button.
Thank you so much for this. I have officially bugged every manager on your list (ones accepting queries of course) and have noticed an uptick on my shows Facebook page so I know they’re at least getting the info.
Best of luck, Rick.
Many thanks! very practical resource! I am an Asian from Hong Kong, aspiring to be a Hollywood scriptwriter, just left my job to focus my screenplay a year ago. I was struggling how to enter the business. Studied your other blog posts, I think I need to have a Manager. Do I have to physically meet the Manager in LA? or Could I have one online and visit LA when potential grows? As I am currently unemployed, it is better to save cost with the latter.
Yes, you can make connections from where you are by writing a bunch of great scripts and then make the move if you can at a later date.
Thank you, that was very very helpful!
You’re welcome, Mariana!
Exactly what I needed this very week as I’ve been hitting a wall in cold pitching decision makers. Thank you!
Glad we could help – good luck contacting screenwriting managers!
This list is AWESOME!!!
Thanks, James – good luck with the search.
A quick thanks for the info. Now, I have a lot of letters to write.
Good luck, Donald!
Thank you so much for your generosity with such invaluable resources and pieces of advice. Much appreciated.
You’re welcome, Suzanne.
Amazing! There are 18 screenwriting managers in the “ACCEPTS UNSOLICITED QUERIES” that I haven’t hit up before.
Yes, there are quite a few 🙂
Thank you for the list and the helpful article on how to best query managers. A really nice service.
Thanks a lot, Bill – hope you find it useful.
Thanks so much for putting this information together. I can’t wait to find a screenwriting manager!
Good luck, Peter!
Thanks script writer, this has really being a whole good and helpful to me, you are amazing always appreciate you, one love.
