maderrThis site seems too good to be true, but I can't find anything sketchy.
Not that it really matters, I've yet to finish anything worth publishing.
*edit*
Made the mistake of looking up professional editors. *weeps*

This agency charges a fee for helping to get a publisher to take your book. Essentially, you can submit the same thing to a publisher as you would submit to them. As far as that, the information on their page is fairly helpful. However, you may be better off directly going to a publisher, perhaps reading some books with tips on getting published.

Everything I've ever read says you won't get anywhere w/out an agent. Guess I'd better look more into it.

The only fluff I've gotten is your revised story, and one from maielchan.

Date: 2004-09-20 10:31 am (UTC)According to Stackpole, writings earn about 6% to 10% on the cover price of book sales.
He has various information about being a writer at http://www.stormwolf.com/ under Essays at the bottom (some good information in his essays on Used Books and Advice to Beginning Writers).
I imagine other writers might have web pages with such helpful information. I'd be interested in reading those too.
Anyway, how much their 10% fee cuts into your end earnings I cannot guess (perhaps none if they get you a better deal or a lot if they don't).
