Writers Are Always Small Potatoes?

Uh, tell that to J.K. Rowling.

J.K. Rowling and everyone else that made this list.

I could list a bunch of uber-successful bloggers too if it were not so late.

Probably true for screenwriters though.

Ok – enough – goodnight.

At various times I’ve toured the three major agencies: William Morris, ICM, and CAA, and have been a client of two of the three, though never a particularly happy client. Probably that was because I was a writer and writers are always small potatoes at the big agencies, particularly in the budgetary sense. They want Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and the like. You can’t blame the agencies for that: after all, they are in business to make money.

-Larry McMurtry, Hollywood (Amazon)
