Full title :Conversations with my agent / Rob Long.

Summary

In 1993, when the hit sitcom Cheers played its final episode, no one mourned its passing more deeply than its co-writer and co-producer Rob Long. With its departure, Rob left the Hollywood heavens for L.A. development hell--a limbo-land reserved for out-of-work writers with cell phones that never ring. This is Long's hilarious inside-the-belly-of-the-beast account of going from TV top dog to just another writer scrambling to get a project rolling. It's a world of Hollywood hacks, where a writer's life is in the hands of studio executives who vanish and reappear in corporate shuffles; where fabulous cash is dangled and jerked away in a manner calculated to tease and terrify; where double-talk is the only way to express the truth; and where hype is more important than substance. Especially if you have a good agent.--From publisher description.
