A great place to start in your search for an agent

K Callan has produced a series of entertaining, common sense, well-researched books on the acting industry and this is definitely one of them. Full of quotes from agents across New York, it contains insights and suggestions into likes and dislikes of agents, tips on how to get an agent to pay attention, what to look for in an agent and much more. If you're starting your agent search or looking for new representation, it's worth a look.

pretty good

ok, i am having trouble getting an agent but this book helped, it specified what an agent does, and what agent you want depending on your career choice. this book seemed to be mostly acting oriented but it had some good info for models too. the one thing i didn't find helpful about this book was that it didn't specify what each particular agency was looking for. it only talked about who started the agency and their background. this book can point people in the right direction for getting into the business but it can't really get you an agent.
