current client of desert rose literary agency
I am a current client of Desert Rose Literary Agency, and yes I was charged the current fee, they charge everybody. It wasn't until I was a client that I decided to do my own investigating, and then found all of this sights I never knew about.
I am a rather new author, and feel I have a pretty good story, but did not realize all the scamming that can be out there.
There are things about Desert Rose Literary Agency that I like alot, like she has been upfront, and honest with me about everything, like Janet Kay, and her past, and how much she regrets that. She even answers everyone of my e-mails like that very same day. She doesn't promise me the world, and huge deals like Janey Kay used to, I heard. She just says, it's a very long process, and we'll see what happens. But, that she will work hard for me, and if i ever feel anxious don't hesitate to write to her.
But, there are other things thta bother me alot about the agency. Like, she said as soon as she was done sending my query letter to the publishers, she would send me the same information she submitted to the publishers. Well, she hasn't yet, and it's been like 7 weeks since she completed it. I am still waiting for it to come in the mail now.
firt, she said she'd sedn it as soon as she was done writing it. then, she was on vacation, and would sedn it as soon as she returns. but that is going on like 4 and a half weeks ago. How long do agents take vacations. Don't they have assistants to do that stuff to, who are in the office. Also if she said, she would send it to me when she was done, why didn't she just smply mail it to me before she left.
I know,she has other clients, and needs a vacation to. But, how much of an effort is it just to print somehting out, and mail it to your client you said you would twice. It's more of the principle factor, I am looking at.
Now, I have met other authors who are clinets of hers, and who have gotten positive responses from publishers. It seems very legitimate, but I whish she'd give me more assurance, so I could feel better.
anyonelse know more about them, than me.
