Hi Patrick,
 
Thanks for contacting me about your book project. You obviously have a great background for it and I don’t have any doubt that the content would be strong (and useful), but unfortunately I don’t think the book is quite for me. I know you can’t take five steps in LA without bumping into an actor, but I’d worry that most of the editors I work with would feel that the market is a bit too narrow and regionalized for them to do well with hit. I could certainly be there, though, and I’d encourage you to run this by some other agents as well, as sometimes it’s just a matter of talking to enough people before you find the right fit for a particular project.
 
And of course, I wish you all the best of success with the book going forward.
 
Take care,
 
--David

Hi David,
 
I am film producer based in LA and came across your agency when looking for agents that represent non-fiction writers.  I have attached my bio as well as my proposal for a book about the entertainment industry and how best to approach it.  It seems you look for a wide range of material and I am certain that my book will fill a need for a niche audience.
 
I would be most grateful if you took the time to look over the attached and if interested, would welcome the opportunity to discuss a collaboration.
 
Sincerely,

Patrick Stack
