Hmm, I wonder if he actually read the proposal, as the book isn't just for actors, but all industry professionals and the huge number of people who would like it to be. Sure, it's geared towards a niche, but that's a good thing. Anyway, been extremely busy with some other projects, but will try to send out proposals to more agents soon.

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
