How to change an Agent
'... I though the scripts sucked. I would pitch a take on them that required a rewrite, and these companies didn't want to hear that.'
Jessica developed original material and set up other three projects.
What happens if your agent doesn't like anymore your new scripts, or want to sell your new scripts to Company who ask for something different? Is it hard to change an agent when you have a contract signed? (I haven't yet but it seems I'm going to have it quite soon). I apologize for my english.

Generally, if you have a contract it will specify that if your agent hasn't gotten you a job in a certain amount of time and it isn't a lot of time I think six weeks or

One of K. Callan's books has some information about how to handle the break-up conversation, what to tell your agent, etc.
One important thing is to remember how small a town it is. If you're having lunch with an agent at CAA, it's going to get back to your agent at ICM. So be up-front with your agent that you're considering alternatives.

[nq:1]Which clauses may prevent him from having his scripts totally reshaped and transfigured by the Companies?[/nq]
By all that I've read on MWSM, it seems that the chances of getting such a clause are slim to non-existent. Even established writers, like NMStevens, have their scripts regularly "transfigured by the Companies."
I think your only real choice, if you want control over how you

Do lay on the kindness of bullpuckey with industry phrases er lies, like 'I wasn't expecting but a mutual friend introduced us at a party and their was a cosmic connection, he just knows my soul and yadda'. Leave friends if at all possible.

Well, if the agent doesn't like the scripts and the writer doesn't like the agent, then what's the problem? Everyone can simply say "We are finished. Good luck!" Happens all the time. The writer doesn't want to be burdened with agent who doesn't get what the writer wants. And the agent doesn't want to be burdened with a client that generates no fees. Sounds like a breakup made in heaven.
