Talent managers play a significant role in the entertainment industry. They are the mediators between creatives and key decision makers such as producers and movie studios, and can be incredibly beneficial in getting content deals because of their contacts. Authors that hope to get their book adapted to the screen, or screenwriters that have a screenplay they hope to get produced into a film or television show should consider surrounding themselves with a knowledgeable support system, per talent manager, writer, and producer John Sill-up. Having a talent manager on your team can help you get more exposure for your work, while also connecting you with the right people.
