A New Angle for ST/Stylus?
Well, as many of you know, they are the reason I found this site. I had sent them my manuscript and gotten a positive response, but decided to do a little digging. Most of you know the rest, so I'll spare the details.
This morning I got to work and there was the email I had been waiting on. Last I'd read in here, they were charging $129.00 to enter writers into their databases and other "administrative expenses". Nothing was mentioned of this in the email I recieved this morning, however.
What was in the email was a request to have my worked critiqued by a 3rd party (Stylus is happy to reccomend one, of course), at a cost of between $50 - $100.
Now, it seems to me that, if an agent is interested in repping your work, they would not need a 3rd party crit, or if they did, they would not charge the writer for it. Am I right?
In any case, I wrote them back stating that the ms is no longer available for representation, and to please destroy any copies they have made...
