He then sent me to an "agent" who could help my manuscript. Thankfully, I did not bite.<BR/><BR/>I was approached by another "agent" who was anxious to represent one of my picture books. Again, I didn't bite (I was very new to the whole publishing game, but I'm skeptical by nature) and that "agent" is now in prison for fraud and other crimes.<BR/><BR/>There are many reputable publishers, agents, book doctors, and the like, but you have to research and make sure that the one you've chosen is legitimate.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for reminding us, Patricia.Rebecca Talleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01969923131001170254noreply@blogger.com
