Simply Nonfiction Literary Agency / May Writers' Group (Michele Glance Rooney aka Shelly May)

Popeyesays · Jun 29, 2007

On a whim, on an unrelated e-mail addy, I sent in a request for more information.

We'll see what happens. I sent them a message saying they had contacted me.

Regards,
Scott

Did you hear back, Scott? There're posts on various boards about being spammed by them, but no trace of this "world-class" agency itself.

It's come up on the Writer Beware blog:

They have a website:

http://www.freewebs.com/maywritersgroup/

A freeweb website with no useful information on it.

A world class freewebs page LOL. Still no names named.

She's surfaced on WN.... http://www.writers.net/agents/56030

The truth about May Writers' Group.

Edited to add: For the sake of Google, I should be less cryptic. May Writers' Group is actually Michele Glance Rooney, a fee-charging agent who is the subject of a thread here.

Thanks, victoria. A friend was tempted by them--I sent him the link. You're the best!

Wow, I saw that coming. She's all over the net soliciting writers.

Ah, the thread that began it all ... *nostalgic sigh*

But, back to Rooney: If you follow Writer Beware Blogs!, she drops by now and then to, um, chat: http://accrispin.blogspot.com/2009/01/victoria-strauss-michele-glance-rooney.html)

Oh, and that "Literary Agents News" blog? Yup, that's her, too: http://accrispin.blogspot.com/2007/11/victoria-strauss-literary-agent-news.html

I'd somehow forgotten the odd hilarity of all that sock puppetry. Thanks for the reminder
