I'd like a reality check on just the aspect of whether the fiction titles Langtons list are published from work directly by their agency (whether Langton got them the deal with the publisher).
The first example on their fiction list:

is
Once Upon A Choice, by Linda Lee Morgan. Entering either author name or book title in Amazon or BN didn't show me that book. Is there a more comprehensive book-search site available, which might include whether it only found its way perhaps as an e-book that Amazon doesn't sell? Or do you suspect this agency is also listing titles they're currently shopping out but haven't been accepted for publication? I've seen agencies listing soon-to-be published titles, but in that case, they list the estimated pub. date to confirm that's the case. But I don't see that here.
The other authors and titles they list often contain an author and several of their titles -- leaving it unclear to me at least which if any of those were actually connected with this agency getting the sale. And yet, author Charlotte on another thread in AW about them lists her published children's book they agented, yet the agency doesn't list on their own site - perhaps needing an update.
With the well-advised mantra being verifiable sales in one's genre being the watchword for evaluating an agency's suitability, is the jury still out here for demonstrated ability to push fiction works?
I received a request for a full and wondering if it's a matter of marching ahead to see if they won't charge editing fees, or rather "stop" right now for the separate issue of documenting sales of fiction. Does the other publishing sites clearly list whether any of those cited fiction works were agented by this agency?
Thanks, everyone.
