Re: Talcott Notch Literary
I must respond to some of the comments made on this forum.
Dave, I've emailed you privately, but I need to address these issues here, to refute any impression you may have left. As much as I respect you, I have to say I certainly do not owe restitution to anyone, and I admonish anyone for making comments of this nature without first checking the facts. I run a thoroughly professional agency, and as you yourself have stated, I work on split payments directly at the publishers, so I do not even handle clients' funds. Clients are paid at the exact same time as I am, and each party receives identical statements so I can check and verify the information and statements.
I have worked successfully in the publishing industry for a very long time. I am solicited daily by editors at major publishing houses for projects I represent. And though I do at times work with indie and smaller publishers for projects appropriate to them due to the untraditional or ground-breaking types of material, I also work just as well as larger publishers, and the emphasis of this agency has been shifting as the types of work we're taking on also shifts and grows.
If anyone can point to a single instance where there's been any issue with Talcott Notch, I'd be happy to discuss it. Certainly, having been active for more than a year, if there were anything to complain about, you'd be hearing about it. A more thorough search will reveal a lot list of positive comments made by dozens of writers.
