Before you proceed, please read the following:How Real Publishing Works
and
Everything you wanted to know about literary agents...
Now read them again. Really. Understanding the above will keep you out of the hands of scammers and help you bypass the slush pile. The extra time spent now will save you much trouble later.
Moving on ... this particular Index is for Other Services & Resources:
- Watchdog Sites & Organizations
- General Agent & Publisher Listings
- Submission Services
- Editing, Appraisal & Critique Services
- Publicity, Marketing & Reviews: A-L
- Publicity, Marketing & Reviews: M-Z
- Display Sites
- Content Sites & Freelance Job Listings

- Contests & Awards
- Miscellaneous Entities: A-L
- Miscellaneous Entities: M-Z
- Everything Else (e.g., general discussions of how to avoid fraudsters)
The Index to Agents & Agencies is here.
To search, use the Search function at the top of the page (the little magnifying glass ( 
) on the very right). You can also use the "Find (on This Page)" function of your browser (usually Ctrl-F). If all else fails, search via Google, etc. using the site:absolutewrite.com/forums “search string here” format. Many older threads contain multiple subjects. If a thread isn't named or doesn't start with what you're looking for, keep reading cuz it's in there somewhere (and you might even learn something by accident. 
)
This Index is NOT all-inclusive. If you can't find a relevant thread, post your question in a NEW thread via the button at the top of the main Bewares forum page.- When asking a question, include what info you already have, especially a website, so folks can give you a quick and accurate answer.
- Post one company/entity per thread. That is, if you have questions about two review services that don't have existing threads, create a separate thread for each service. (N.B., if you have questions about multiple reviewers at the same service, keep ‘em all to the same thread.)
- Do not create a new thread for someone/thing that already has one. No matter how old the thread is, just post your question to it, and it will pop to the top.
