Bohrman initially sought to be a journalist, but her first job in the entertainment industry was as a receptionist at a literary agency in the mid s. There she quickly rose through the ranks, becoming an agent within a year of her hiring.

She helped start lit departments at a number of agencies, then launched her own, the Bohrman Agency, in Bohrman was born in Los Angeles and majored in journalism at Sonoma U. I always say, 'The cleanest you can make your script, the most professional looking, the better. I'll do page notes, which is kind of unusual for agents. I'm happy to get involved in the creative process.

It's time consuming, which is another reason I limit the amount of clients I represent. I think it's very important that an agent be tuned into and know a client's script just as well as the client does in order to sell it in the marketplace. Q: Do you have a preference for genre? CB: No preference. Everything in this town is cyclical. Everything sells at different times.

I find, for example, that romantic comedies may not sell as well at the end of the year as they do at the beginning of the year. Q: What should the writer and agent expect of each other in the business relationship? CB: First and foremost, total and complete honesty. I think keeping each other filled in as to what's going on within the town and as it applies to each writer's career is very important.

I talk to my clients either by phone or email two to three times a week, if not more than that. Q: So, you catch up on their progress and revisions? CB: And how they're doing. There are boundaries, but there also is a personal connection. If I know how my clients are feeling and what they're thinking, I can help them to promote their ideas and to progress to a screenplay or dissuade from things they're working on if I think that there are competitive projects out there.

By strategizing with a client about their career, both the writer and the agent come up with ideas they may not have come up with on their own. Q: What type of background would you look for in a screenwriter you're considering representing? CB: I have a soft spot in my heart for young writers who are trying to get in the door. So, I always try to give them some guidance or help if at all possible.

I work extensively with professional, working writers who have sold screenplays. Q: In terms of educational background, would there be anything specific you look for? CB: No. I don't believe you can always be taught how to write. Your craft can be honed.

And I think that courses and seminars like Chris [Soth] gives, and things you're doing with your [Web] site, are very, very important. I don't really think it's a level of education. I really think it's trying to hone your craft and establish yourself as a viable entity. Q: Maybe you could tell me what would transpire between you and a production company during the pitch phase and the contract phase of a script sale.

CB: I probably speak to people each and every day.
