AR&E

have in mind.
The right agents for your work -
THE CUSTOMIZED FINGERPRINT
- This Service costs $360.00.
You get the benefit of our eleven years of experience running this boutique operation for writers,
Bill's quarter century of literary agent research, and Beverly's quarter century as an author of
some 17 books published by the likes of Bantam, Random House, Simon & Schuster in the US, and many countries abroad.
The report includes a memo from her featuring advice on query submission, positioning what you are doing in the market
as it is right now, and the handpicked names of six to eight top-of-the-heap and absolutely legit agents who are in the hunt and right for the work you're doing.

Green fruit - THE NEW AGENT LIST
- This report costs $110.00
Study the record of over forty agents who have either opened their
own agency since 2006, or begun a list with an agency for which
they did not work before.

AGENT VERIFICATION
Ask us about an agent and we'll tell you if he or she has established
a public record, and if we have had any negative reports on the agent's
business practices. This service is free.
Not having a public record doesn't mean the agent is not legit,
but unless the agent got started yesterday, it should make you very
cautious about becoming involved. Real agents make a lot of deals.
And talk about them.
REAL AGENTS DO NOT CHARGE FEES UPFRONT.
AUTHOR WEBSITES
Author websites are hugely important and getting more so every day. Equally important is how to get to the top of the mighty Google, and stay there. In our view, no one does it better than the Writers Direct Network. Check out their work here. www.WritersDirect.net
