Welcome to Cal Literary, an agency that handles books, films, and TV projects (contact us for the link to these proposals).   We work with a number of literary, film, and music agents on a co-agency basis.  

As a co-agent, we help with marketing and PR and assist in contacting book publishers, producers, production companies, music publishers, and record labels.  Our co-agent handles the follow-up and contract arrangements.  When a book or other project is produced, we help with promotion and marketing -- and sometimes book design, Web site development, and event planning.

We're selective in the projects we take on.  We work primarily with Gini Graham Scott, Ph.D., who has published over 40 books and with books, films, or TV projects, where she is a co-author, ghostwriter, or consultant involved in project  development.  

Any representation as a co-agent is independent of ghost writing or consulting, handled through Creative Communications and Research,  and we encourage clients to obtain their own agent.  If they don't have one, our affiliate company, PublishersAndAgents.Net helps book writers find literary agents and publishers, while the FilmConnection.biz helps script writers contact film agents, producers, and production companies.
