"IF AN ?AGENT? ASKS YOU TO PAY HIM MONEY FOR ANY KIND OF FEE BEFORE HE
HAS SOLD YOUR BOOK TO A LEGITIMATE PUBLISHER, HE IS A FAKE, A SHARK, A
SCAMMER.
Got it? If your prospective agent asks you to send him up-front money
for a contract fee, marketing fee, promotion fee, mailing fee, signing
fee, reading fee, buy-my-porsche fee, or
pay-the-rent-on-my-girlfriends-apartment fee, you know he?s a crook
and you walk away. That?s it, that?s the only rule you need for
telling dolphin from shark. Ask for money up front = he?s a shyster;
take a cut of what he sells for you = he?s a real agent. Let me repeat
this again because so many posters to Writers Net fail to get it, fake
agents want you to write them checks BEFORE they sell your work, real
agents sell your work and take a cut, sometimes itemizing back
expenses as well, but always after the sale.
Why do fake agents want you to pay up front? Because they either know
they can?t sell your work or they DON?T EVEN TRY to sell it. They
don?t try because they?re not in the business of selling manuscripts,
they?re in the business of conning gullible authors out of up front
money. And judging by the numbers of requests for agent info we see on
this board, this fake agenting thing is a pretty lucrative business.
In fact, there may be MORE fake agents out there in our lagoon than
real agents, I dunno. One thing I do know is that the majority of the
agents who advertise or who you will first run across during a net
search are fake. This is probably why they do so well. They?re easy to
find and the new authors bump into them first. "
