Here's a great article which one of our clients, Marsha Marks wrote, about our service and sent out to many writers groups. 

Just have to let in all your readers on the greatest boost to my writing life, since acquiring a fabulous agent.  In fact, included in this tip --- is the answer to how I got my fabulous agent.  Three months ago, I was struggling along, with an idea for a Children's book, and had no idea how to get a "Children's Agent".  I had used an attorney for my first few publishing contracts, and knew nothing about "the Children's book market" except that I don't like sending query's and didn't have the time or patience to look up all the different editors and agents. 

That's when, one night while surfing the web - (I know it sounds like an infomercial, but I have nothing to gain by telling you this, except to share the good news) I came across this website www.publishersandagents.net

I read what the site promised to do, and thought it sounded too good to be true!  (And you know what my Mid Western husband always says, if it sounds too good to be true, it is too good to be true.)   But, I looked at the price and thought shoot, that's cheaper than one hour of any professional's time.  And...this site promised to send out one query to all the editors in the United States and the UK who might be interested in my Children's book.  And it promised to make my ONE query look like I had personally addressed it to each and every editor. And if I wanted too, I could write another query describing my project - my new children's book - to the AGENTS, as well.

So, I bit.  I thought, shoot, the stamps and envelopes alone is worth the price, not to mention my time.  My Query went out on a Sunday Night.  (May I first say that the lady who runs the site, Gini, is the most professional and helpful "query editor" I've ever dealt with - and of course editing the query was included in the price!)  Within hours of my Query going out, I began to get email response.  TONS OF EMAIL RESPONSE..  All with the return e-addresses and over 90% positive.  Within 24 hours I had  signed with the second Agent that offered representation, (after they requested a quick read of my proposal and after I researched them at www.publishersmarketplace.com).  And I couldn't be happier.  Then every major publisher that responded to my e-query was sent on to my agent.  And these were MAJOR publishers.  My agent finally settled on one editor, he recommended, at Harper Collins Children's.  And I'm thrilled!

So, then I thought, OK, this worked good for Children's, but what about a non-fiction humor book I want to write about a specific topic.  So, again, I wrote a one page 300 word query and used the service at www.publishersandagents.net (this time I didn't need an agent, as I already had an agent, I just wanted to gage interest in my new book idea).  And AGAIN I was overwhelmed with the response.  This time, more than the Children's book!  In fact one President of one reputable house, who is known for publishing books from this part of the nation, PHONED ME, to tell me how much he loved the idea.  Everyone that responded was of course very impressed when I told them my agents name, and then just agreed to contact him and request the "Proposal".  We are dealing now with interest from every major house.  And I'm loving this service.  I'm booked now with writing projects.  But, I urge any of your readers to go to www.publishersandagents.net

and simply read the KUDO'S.  Then write one query, and sit back and be shocked with the great responses!!!  It's the E-QUERY of the NEW AGE.  No more, frustrating wait!!!

Just had to pass this on!
