If you're looking for a literary agent, could be you're posting in the wrong forum.

If you're an aspiring screenwriter, check out the tips (http://absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24087) thread which lists potential contact links for agents, managers, prodcos.

Take the critiques you get with a grain of salt. Invariably, some of the critics will be kooks, bitter curmudgeons, or complete fools. ~odocoileus

Jordan, before you direct a would-be agent to your website, you might want to run the language through a grammar check. You've got some goofs that would make reph (resident grammar expert) rap your knuckles with a ruler.

I won't go into it here, since that's not what you asked, but if you want to improve that site enough to ensure that no agent dismisses you because of it, AbsoluteWrite has a grammar thread where you can learn what's wrong, why, and how to fix it--all from people who are happy to share information rather than judge you for not already knowing what they do.
