AGENTS AND MANAGERS
If you're a literary agent or manager and could use our help perfecting your clients' projects for publication and/or production, we'd love to work with you because we're good at fixing stories that aren't working yet.

Writer's Lifeline, Inc., based on experience, can add potentially multi-million dollar value to projects that you haven't been able to sell, or wouldn't consider representing, because of the "shape" they're in.

In one case, we turned a great idea for a novel into a $1.1 million preemptive film deal, then re-edited the MS and auctioned it for $2.2 million. In another, we took a novel MS that had been shopped to publishers and production companies, worked on it for nine months, then changed the name and sold it for $750,000!

When we receive the referral from you, we will work out our relationship (including referral fees, where appropriate)--which can also involve having our parent company AEI, Inc. co-rep the work with you.

DID YOU KNOW?
Projects developed by Writer's Lifeline have accounted for approximately seventy percent of sales (over $21 million and rising) made by its affiliated literary management and film production company, AEI, Inc. since the company's 1997 founding. Find out more!
