Pitch and Query Workshop – A big thanks to literary manager Marilyn Atlas!

Marilyn Atlas

You’ve written a book or a screenplay. Now what do you do? How do you set yourself up so that your book can make it on shelves or for that screenplay to make it to film? You learned how best to present yourself so that you can succeed.

Marilyn R. Atlas is a talent and literary manager and award-winning producer. Among her credits as film producer are “Real Women Have Curves” for HBO, which won the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival; “A Certain Desire,” starring Sam Waterston; and “Echoes,” which won the Gold Award at the Texas International Film Festival.
