Literary Agenting

At GiraffeLight Media Agency, we champion your work from manuscript to marketplace.

  • We connect authors with the right publishers

  • We negotiate contracts in your best interest

  • We guide you through the publishing process every step of the way.

  • We help you tell and get your story to market

As an agency, we are transparent in that we operate differently than other agencies. Like traditional agencies, 

  • We do hold to certain industry standards

  • We do NOT charge reading fees

  • We do NOT charge signing fees

  • We will NEVER pressure you to sign with us

  • We encourage all writers to have an attorney look over our contracts before signing so you understand what you are agreeing to.

Unlike traditional agencies, we like to give our writers the option to retain more equity in their book sales.

  • Rather than charging the current agency standard of 15% whether or not a book actually needs developmental edits or formatting edits, we realize that no two writers and no two manuscripts are the same.

  • Our base representation fee is 10%. We work with authors on a per-project basis to determine what a manuscript actually needs to introduce it to the market.

  • If editing is required, we offer flat-rate edit packages and payment plans based on how much time and attention is necessary.

Why do we do it this way?

Because having also worked as an author and ghostwriter, we’ve felt the pinch of those 15% fees. We understand the hard work and years spent writing a book! Rather than automatically eating into percentage of an author’s royalties in perpetuity, this allows us to evaluate and treat our authors fairly like we would want to be treated!

We value people over profits and strive to build longterm working relationships with our clients.

Screenwriting

We also hire out services as a work-for-hire screenwriter able to craft scripts tailored to a project’s creative vision and production needs. We work closely with producers and directors, developing characters, structuring detailed outlines, and working from first draft through color production drafts. We carefully align creativity with budget constraints and logistical realities and conduct thorough research to ensure authenticity and accuracy to create compelling, marketable narratives. Collaboration is key, and we work with producers, directors, actors, and crew keys to adapt drafts with the final project in mind. We realize that screenwriting is a business first and foremost, so we stay deadline-driven and detail-oriented. As a work-for-hire screenwriter, we delivers polished scripts that are ready for production, meeting both the artistic and practical demands of filmmaking.

Coverage + Script Development

With over a decade of experience doing script coverage and script analysis for production companies and independent producers, we offer qualitative and quantitative reports that objectively, critically, and creatively evaluate a screenplay’s strengths, weaknesses, and market potential.

Coverages include the following:

  • A one-sheet with logline, synopsis, and quantitative scoring rubric

  • Detailed summary breakdown with corresponding page numbers indicating how efficiently beats fall according to Save The Cat structure

  • Analysis of plot pacing, character, and dialogue quality

  • Analysis of marketability and production value breakdown

  • Optional budget analysis and theatrical marketability notes

  • Recommendation for producers or executives deciding whether to move forward into greenlighting a project.

We look at feature screenplays, TV pilots, and manuscript being considered for adaptation to the screen, providing sound industry analysis in a timely fashion.
