How to approach
Send it to the right office. Their submissions page splits literary from production and says plainly that all literary submissions go to Characters East, so a script sent to the West office is in the wrong queue before anyone reads it.
The literary list they publish is an introductory letter or email, a resume, a portfolio or reel where you have one, and a maximum of two scripts, either a TV pilot or a feature. Two is a cap rather than a target: send your best one and a second only if it genuinely shows a different register. They note the submission is seen by all the agents in the office and that whoever is interested will make contact directly, so there is no individual to address it to and no benefit in trying to find one.
The PreList verdict
Who this is for: writers ready to be represented who have one or two scripts that genuinely represent them. This is one of the few agencies anywhere that publishes a route for sending an actual screenplay rather than a query, which makes it unusually valuable and worth not wasting.
Who should skip it: anyone whose script is still a draft. A door that accepts the full text is a door that judges the full text, and the two-script cap means there is no third go.
Note the response policy before you start refreshing your inbox. They say they reply only to the people they intend to meet, so silence carries no information beyond itself. Send, log the date, and move on to the next thing on your list.
