     This week, Studio Reader Stan meets with his literary agent.
Studio Reader Stan sits across from Mischa Broom, his agent.

Mischa Broom: Studio Reader Stan, I’m really excited. I’ve got the perfect thing for you.

Studio Reader Stan: Does it involve me helping you clean out your garage again?

Mischa Broom: Don’t be ridiculous. The garage won’t need cleaning for another three months. Keep your calendar clear.

Studio Reader Stan: I’m sure I will. So what’s this perfect thing?

Mischa Broom: Kids TV. I just met up with an old college friend who actually has kids – and guess what? They watch TV all day long. Who even knew there was TV for kids?

Studio Reader Stan: I did. And I asked you to look into it six months ago.

Mischa Broom: And now I have. See how lucky you are to have me?

Studio Reader Stan: So you’re actually going to make calls on my behalf and try to get me actual meetings?

Mischa Broom: You got it.

Studio Reader Stan: Wow. This is great. Thank you. I finally have something positive to look forward to.

Mischa Broom: I had someone fax over the info on what writing for kids TV pays. Let me just crunch these numbers.

She takes out a calculator and punches in numbers while looking at the fax.

Mischa Broom: Uh huh… Uh huh… All right, there’s no money in kids TV for me. I’m out.

Studio Reader Stan: What? You’re not doing it anymore?

Mischa Broom: You got anything with mountain-side yodelers or cavemen in it? Both of those are really hot right now.

Studio Reader Stan fights off an urge to weep uncontrollably.
