Hello Everyone! I'm excited to meet all of you. My name is Ryan Koch and I'm a writer/director. After getting notes from Sundance Labs, the Nicholl Academy Fellowship, and other industry friends, I've completed the 10th draft of my feature script "Homestead." I'm ready to send it around to agents/managers for representation, but don't want to seem cringe. I honestly don't even know where to start. Does anyone have any advice?

Welcome to the community, Ryan Koch. Congrats on finishing the 10th draft!
You can network with agents and managers right here on Stage 32. The Lounges (www.stage32.com/lounge), the Browse Members Section (www.stage32.com/people), the Blogs (www.stage32.com/blog), and the Writers' Room (www.stage32.com/writers-room).
Stage 32 has Representation Webinars you might find useful (www.stage32.com/webinars/tag/representation).
You can post your logline, synopsis, and script in the Logline Section of your profile. Producers, directors, etc. (maybe even agents and managers) search profiles on Stage 32 for projects.
You can also search for agents and managers with IMDbPro (https://pro.imdb.com/signup/index.html?u=http%3A%2F%2Fpro.imdb.com%2F).

Thanks Langley Coleman ! I wasn't accepted to them, I just submitted and got some great feedback. I applied it to future drafts.

Oh - oops! Well definitely keep posting about the process as you navigate submissions. I think that'd be hugely helpful for other writers. And godspeed Ryan Koch !
