Thread Newbie

Hello all!

I'm new to the forum, but have been lurking around long enough to know what a great forum and group of people you've got here.

I'm an active-duty aviator in the US Army, a novelist, husband of 23 years, and father of 3 lovely daughters. I've self-published 2 novels, Penalty of Pride and Shreds of Humanity, and am working on getting my third novel published now. While in Afghanistan last month, I lost both my agent and publishing contract, so I decided that I needed to post my comments on an agent who I feel is very shady and unprofessional . I wouldn't normally do this because I feel a bit unprofessional myself as I prepare to share my notes on this agent, but don't wish others to waste their time or talents with this agent without knowing how they conduct business.

I look forward to sharing my experiences and learning more about this crazy art from the many experts on this site.

Mike

Thanks for all the welcomes.

Have you checked our Bewares, Recommendations & Background Checks area to see if there's already a thread started on the agent in question? The best way to search is using the Google Custom Search bar at the bottom left of every page.

Yeah, I had found her in there before I went with her, but the information was old and somewhat outdated. I experienced the same issues that were mentioned and want to update it with my own experiences.

Thanks for the google search recommendation, I didn't even notice that before and it makes a world of difference.

Welcome. Nothing wrong about sharing your frustrations with your agent. Just stick with the facts. That's the best way to be professional about it. Don't editorialize on it. Just say what the agent did or didn't do for you.

I absolutely agree.

Thanks again for all the welcomes, I'm enjoying the wisdom so prevalent here.
