The Niad philosophy:

Clients first, Underdogs second, Self last.

While I have always stuck by this philosophy; be it at Niad Management, at ICM, or anywhere else in my life; time and money have become precious resources since the writer's strike and the fears of an impending actors' strike have taken hold.

In order to continue doing business in the manner in which you and we are accustomed, that is being open to accepting unsolicited query letters and submissions in the hopes of finding those rare gems out there, we needed to come up with a way that would make it financially viable for us to do so. So while we can no longer accept unsolicited query letters or screenplays unless they go through our new consulting program as outlined below, we would still like, very much, to help the underdog and hope you allow us to do so without taking offense to the necessary changes to our program.

We believe these changes to be in everyone's best interest for the following reasons.

1. Only those truly interested and motivated will now submit, thereby weeding out the weakest ones and cutting down our work load.

2. You will now have our undivided attention for every submission. There will be no passing after 10, 20 or 30 pages. The entire script must be read.

3. You won't receive a mere rejection form letter. It will be a personalized service with individualized attention and an opportunity to speak with us personally.

So...ready to get started?
