Boy! I felt really terrible when I discovered an agency in Texas that had said my children's picture book was great and they wanted to be my agent! Then I went to the preditors and editor web and discovered how may people this agency had ripped off. The only thing that saved me from a big mistake was all the advice gleaned from this sight and another group I belong to and the message was the same: "No, no, no, never pay up front fees for agencies to edit your work."
After checking out the agency, I was disappointed and felt like my work must be bad for someone to try and take advantage of me. My husband just said, "look, it's a good piece of work, it will sell when you connect with the right publisher. Don't let a crook prevent you from becoming a published author."
So I continue to write novels, children's books and stories, and one of these days I'll connect with the right editor, agency or publisher!
