# Free Screenwriting Representation Planner > Research one agent or manager, assemble a tailored screenplay query, prepare meeting questions, mark unresolved red flags, and export a private brief. Research one agent or manager, assemble a tailored screenplay query, prepare meeting questions, mark unresolved red flags, and export a private brief. One target, researched carefully Work through one real person or firm at a time. This planner assembles your own facts and questions; it does not score fit, estimate your odds, or suggest a roster. 0 of 4 areas started 1\. What you have ready Tick what is finished and ready to talk about. Nothing here is required — it is a checklist for you, so you know what you can offer if the conversation goes well. Finished lead sample Second sample or developed next project Specific logline Short, factual bio Clean PDF ready if requested 2\. Record the current target research Write down where you found them, why this person may fit the work, and what their submission policy says. Representative name Company Jurisdiction Where you found them Why this person may fit this work Contact policy 3\. Assemble the query from your facts Project title Format and genre Logline Relevant context, if it helps the read What comes next ### Query draft Edit the facts above, then revise the copied text in your own voice. 4\. Prepare questions and mark what needs resolving Pick the questions you want to ask. Flagging something keeps it in front of you until you have checked it or asked someone who knows. ### Meeting questions What did you respond to in the sample, and what would you want to develop?What would the first few months of working together look like?How would we decide when and where the material goes out?What would you want me writing next, and why?Who is my day-to-day contact, and what communication rhythm is typical?What commission, expenses, exclusivity, term, and termination terms apply? Questions specific to this conversation ### Facts to resolve Unexpected payment requested before the work is clear Guaranteed employment, sale, access, or outcome Identity or company cannot be verified independently Pressure to sign, pay, or share sensitive information immediately Material terms will not be provided in writing Independent advice or contract review is discouraged Working notes Private working document ## Representation brief Copy or download the complete brief. It contains what you entered, so choose where you store and share it. Nothing is saved until you choose Save. Reset clears this page and your saved copy. Useful output, not a score ## What this tool gives you ### One verified target brief Keep where you found them, what their submission policy says, and why the work fits — all in one place, beside the project it is for. ### A query made from your facts Assemble project identity, premise, relevant context, and a simple request without a fit score, success estimate, or invented personalization. ### Meeting questions and unresolved facts Choose questions about taste, plan, communication, and terms; mark identity, payment, pressure, or agreement concerns that still need checking. ## How to use it 1. 1 ### Inventory the material and research Mark what is ready, then record one representative, the live source and contact policy you checked, and the specific reason the work may fit. 2. 2 ### Build the query and meeting brief Add the project facts, select the questions you want to ask, and keep any payment, identity, pressure, or contract concern visible until it is resolved. 3. 3 ### Keep or export the private brief Copy or download the result, or explicitly save it in this browser. Reset clears the working state and removes the saved browser copy. ## How to read the result This is a research and preparation document, not an agent database, fit rating, contract review, or prediction. A directory entry does not establish current query policy, and a polished message does not guarantee a read or representation. Confirm the firm's own instructions and get qualified advice on an agreement when needed. ## Questions writers ask ### Does the representation planner recommend agents or managers? No. It helps you examine one target you found through current sources. It does not scrape a roster, rank representatives, rate fit, or predict who will respond. ### Does Inkwell receive the names, logline, or query I enter? No. Nothing reaches Inkwell. Nothing is saved until you choose Save. Reset clears this page and your saved copy. ### Can I use the generated query without editing it? Treat it as an assembled draft. Read it aloud, make the fit sentence specific and true, remove empty context, follow the recipient's current instructions, and send no attachment unless requested. ### Does the red-flag checklist tell me whether an offer is legitimate? No. It is a prompt list that keeps identity, payment, licensing, and contract questions in front of you until you have checked them. Nothing here is legal or financial advice, and no entry is a finding about any person or company. Check the facts through independent sources, and take any agreement to a qualified lawyer before you sign. ## Defined in the glossary - [Logline](https://www.inkwell.software/glossary/logline) [One or two sentences that capture protagonist, conflict, and stakes — the shortest honest pitch of the story.](https://www.inkwell.software/glossary/logline) - [Spec Script](https://www.inkwell.software/glossary/spec-script) [A screenplay written on speculation — no deal yet — meant to sell the story or showcase craft.
