Questions
Before you join
The things authors ask us most often, answered plainly.
Will this get me an agent?
No — and nobody honest can promise that. Membership gives you research, templates, and organisation so your submission arrives in the shape agents expect.
Are there any hidden add-ons?
No. The $30 membership opens every listed member feature and includes one book listing.
Is there a cheaper tier?
There are no tiers. One price covers every feature, so nothing useful is held back behind an upgrade.
Can I get a correction made to a listing?
Yes. Email us and we check it against the agency's own site, then update or remove the entry.
Good submissions begin with careful research.
Prepare your materials, research your options, and take the next step with confidence.
