In the world of writing, writers tend to have agents. Agents can do various tasks for writers, one thing the agent has to do is help find things for writers to write for. They could hear about jobs or they could submit the writers script.
Another task for the agent is to build up a good reputation for the writer. This then can make finding jobs easier for the agent as production companies will ask for that particular writer.
Agents also arrange for the payment for the writer. They also know about negotiating which can help the writer from getting ripped off.
As the agent is working for the writer, they take a certain cut of the money (roughly around 10%). More experienced agents will usually take a larger percentage because they are more skilled.
