Brian's guest this week is intellectual property agent Steve Fisher. Steve began his career in the research department of World News Tonight before becoming an agent and ultimately joining APA where he’s been since 1999. Steve’s specialty is working out deals that bring your favorite existing properties to TV and film.

Steve and Brian talk about his career, the sheer scope of the TV and film industry compared to publishing, and of course the process with which a book becomes a show or film. They dig into the business side of page and screen and talk about rookie mistakes from property holders and the complications with dealing with artistic egos. They even touch on the Powder Mage deal that Steve facilitated for Brian!

Check out Steve's agency, APA.

Find Brian at his website, on Twitter and Instagram, or find his books on Amazon, direct from his bookstore, or wherever books are sold!
