But the website is indeed down. http://www.ambliterarymanagement.com/

Nothing on the web since early March that I can find. So ... I don't know.

I can understand a temporary problem with a website and associated email addresses - if the people hosting the domain go bust, that address may well become uncontactable*. However if it was my business at stake, I'd immediately set up an account elsewhere, e.g. on gmail, and mail all my clients to explain the problem. Short of a major personal disaster, there's no good reason these days to remain uncontactable for lengthy periods of time. Which is not to say that an apparently legit agent shouldn't be given the benefit of the doubt, since disaster can happen to us all.

Not that I'm an expert, but I'd send a polite letter to her snail-mail address, saying you've tried to get in touch, but in the absence of further contact you will be submitting to other agents. Even if you agreed to an exclusive, that shouldn't be open-ended. Be polite and professional - if she's still in business and wants to represent you, I'm sure she'll get back. If not, well you have no contract with her, so no loss really...

* Which is why my domain name stays with my registrar, and just points to my hosting company's nameservers.

She has a listed phone number for the agency.

According to one of her author's website, the AMB Literary Management email address is:

Wondering if Mama Bro or anyone else has heard back from Amy Moore-Benson or had any other interactions with her?

I am considering querying AMB. Does anyone have any recent experience with them? Thanks
