legal contract with a literary service offering agenting-
type assistance; publishers who charge, rather than
pay, an author for publication; publishers who require a purchase before publication and contests that charge
high entrance fees. The Writer also recommends
requesting a list of references and submission
guidelines before submitting a manuscript. If you have
any concerns regarding the advertiser’s commitment
or claims, please contact the advertiser and make
certain all questions are answered to your satisfaction.ADVERTISERS We do not accept ads from agents
