I need an agent

Query in the same way as you usually would but mention the inquiries in your query letter. And in your case I'd look for a literary agency with a solid TV/film department too.

Or could you handle it for me? What kinda cut do you take?

You can do it yourself.

1. Learn how to write a query letter (books and online sources are available)
2. Research agents: query tracker, agentquery.com, google, AbsoluteWrite etc.
3. e-query those agents that accept email queries.

not sure this is a terribly compelling pitch. right off the bat, you have no real description of what you're offering, just a request, and on top of that you're immediately moving towards haggling as though you have every intention of trying to find the lowest bidder

maybe that isn't how you meant things to come off, BUT, and that's a big but, it may be a very good lesson for queries. First impressions count--I saw this and thought "wow....going right to price, with an unknown offering.....that's gonna look good" but it was a forum so I wrote back--a busy agent isn't going to.

Figure out who you want. And their percentage probably shouldn't be your primary sorting tool.

Go to the library. Or your local bookstore.

There's plenty of resources available on how to approach an agent. Do your research before signing *any* contract, be it for an agent or for foreign rights. Especially if they're out of country.

We have a whole thread full of successful queries in Share Your Work (in the Query Letter Hell section) for you to look at, too.
