In my last post I raved about a literary agent who had asked to see my entire manuscript.
They emailled me today saying they'd recieved it, thought it was great, and wanted to proceed to try and sell my work.
But FIRST, first, they said, "we'll need you to have a paid critique, all our authors have this done."
Who was to pay for it? Me, of course.
This, I knew, with a sinking heart, meant they were not a proper agency. A legit agency does not take any money from you, they only get paid once they seel your writing.
*feels very sad*
oh dear,
sad
