Alexandra Nye, Writers & Agents

Ardvark · Apr 28, 2008

Hi everyone,

I can't see anything about this in the main index, so i'm looking for a background check on the following:

Alexandra Nye Literary Agency
No email, no website, doesn't accept calls, but has a number.
Agency charges a reading fee.

Thats all I know, but i'd like to know if anyone else knows more.
