Has anyone any experience with this agency? It seems that Mr.Bial has a particularly bad press from what I have found.

Let's start with the good part first. There are 32 hits I found on Amazon, which means he's got $. The books are mostly self-helps / how to's & bibliographys.

Now for the bad parts. An old post claiming that Mr.Bail charges fees.

Setting aside the conflict of interest issues with his consulting and editing services, I'd ask both Writer Beware and P&E if they're still getting reports of him charging fees as an agent.

Agency site hasn't been updated in a while, and editing site is gone. Anyone have recent contact with him?

For the sake of closure: per his LinkedIn page, he closed the agency in '14 to go back to school.
