Extremely helpful!
I couldn't believe how helpful and insightful this book is! I not only bought a copy for myself, but after reading it, I also bought copies for two of my friends. I'm sure this is the kind of information that agents will HATE having their clients know -- all the secrets and tricks. But it is imperitive that every actor and writer know the information that is in this book in order to best take control of their own careers, whether they already have an agent, or are currently searching. "How to Agent your Agent" is not only enlightening, but entertainly written and full of great real-life stories and examples.

HELPFUL TO WRITERS AS WELL...
This book is wonderful. Humorous and informative; my favorite combination. I am not an aspiring actress, and have only delt with Two Literary Agents in the sale of my first 4 books; however, I found Ms. Rainfords book an excellent resource. I would recomend this book to anyone who has an Agent; is thinking of getting an Agent; wants to become an Agent; or is thinking of leaving her Agent. Or anyone who is going to HOLLYWOOD to PITCH anything.It's hard to believe Nancy Rainford hasn't written more books. Perhaps a humorous novel about her business? The book flows with the ease of a best selling novel!
5 stars to this one!

A must for anyone who is building an acting career!
This is a great book, I couldn't put it down. My husband and I are both actors, and we actually fought over who got to read it first (we alternated). I have already recommended this book to all of my friends who are actors. It is that valuable and should be required reading for every actor in Hollywood. The book is not just a primer on the Hollywood protocol and pecking order, but "How to Agent Your Agent" goes into such wonderful detail so as to demystify how an actor should handle his/her agent. So many actors are constantly in a quandry of how to handle a situation with their agents, or they are downright dissatisfied with their agents. This book helps an actor to define what you have control over and what you can change. Years of experience are in this book to help keep actors from making mistakes when it comes representation.
Thank you, Ms. Rainford, for telling it like it is (and being such a great storyteller).
