Considering the potential for confusion, I think this warrants a separate post:
In case y'all aren't aware, the infamous
ST Literary Agency recently changed its name to
Stylus Literary Agency. They also formed an umbrella company
The Literary Agency Group, Inc. They no doubt chose this name to create confusion with the legit (or at least competent) agency
The Literary Group (aka Literary Group International).
So, what we’ve got here is
The Literary Agency Group, Inc. posing as the “parent” agency for the following puppets:
The Children’s Literary Agency
The Christian Literary Agency
The New York Literary Agency
The Poets Literary Agency
The Screenplay Agency
Stylus Literary Agency
Which in turn refer writers to the paid services of:
My Editor Is A Saint
The Writers Literary & Publishing Services Co.
RapidPublishing.com
Just so we’re clear…
AVOID THESE COMPANIES!!!
ETA:
2/07: Fletcher and pals claim The Literary Agency Group is bought by
Writers’ Literary Agency & Marketing Company and rename some of their "agencies" (e.g. The Children's Literary Agency to WL Children's Agency).
It's all the same people and still the same scam. See individual threads for details.
ETA:
4/08: The latest tentacles are the
Children's Book Publishing Agency and the
Writers Book Publishing Agency. See individual threads for details.
