Agent Reference:

Anybody out there in wonderland have an experiences, (pro or con), with Jet Lit Assoc., (Elizabeth Trupin-Pulli), from Santa Fe, NM, NYC, & Vienna Austria?

Thanks.

Re: Agent Reference:

She looks legit, to me. No negative information about JET Literary at Preditors & Editors, and the client list/recent publications on their website is extensive. The only thing I note is that it appears some of the books they've placed have gone to publishers that don't necessarily require a writer to be agented (such as Silhouette and Disc-Us). Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that.

Re: Agent Reference:

Elisabeth Trupin-Pulli of JET Literary has a track record of commercial sales. They're displayed on her website: www.jetliterary.com/clients.htm. Based on what I see there, it looks as if she's selling 5-10 books a year--not a lot, but she seems to have a small client list. Sales seem to represent a reasonable mix of independent and large houses. There've also been some dramatic rights sales for the authors whose estates she represents

She owns a publisher, Disc-Us Books, which poses at least a potential conflict of interest. However, there doesn't seem to be much overlap, except in the case of the estates she represents, where quite a few of the books have been re-issued through Disc-Us.

I believe at one point that JET did charge fees (reading fees?) but I haven't heard anything about this for a very long time.
