Scribelers: Three days ago I finished reading an autobiography (published in Great Britain). Within the same day I wrote and emailed a letter to the author; introducing myself and asked him about the availability of the film rights to his book. Yesterday morning I received an email, wherein he thanked me many times for my interest; giving me the address and fax number to his literary agent in London. Question: Do any of you have any kind of experience; trying to option the exclusive motion picture and television rights to a true-life story (published as an autobiography)? Any advice on how to approach his agent re: exclusive rights, would be highly appreciated.
