Anyone know anything about this Roswell, Georgia agency? Preditors and Editors says they're receiving comments about it, but they don't say what kind of comments... Thanks in advance
jpserra said:I too have been offered a contract. So, does this mean, after all these years, and the more recent involvement of Graham, that it is still Not Recomended. I see nothing here to change a reasonable and rational mind. No one recently has run into the issues previously posted.
Did Susan Graham do a good job of representation, and will she do so in the present? These are questions I could ask about most agents.

Tim said:Does anyone out there have any recent news or dealings with About Words Agency? I have received an offer of representation from them, but I'm leary of signing becuase of what I've read about thier shady editing practices and association with the book doctor, Zebra Communications.
I did not receive any heavy editing proposals from their editors when About Words sent me the contract, but I am left wondering if that will come after I sign the contract and lock myself in.
As of last year, Victoria Strauss with Writer's Beware did not have any information about sales this agency has made.
Anyone have recent news?

I just got the same response from the About Words Agency. A couple of pages returned covered in red ink disputing the construction of just about every second sentence. There was nothing that represented useful critique.

I've not been asked to do anything but correct some structural complications in the early chapters of my manuscript. I've not heard or received anything from Mr. Christmas, and have had only meaningful discussions with Ms. Graham and the intern whom I've also been working with.
