[edit] Advertising

This article is advertising for the agents. Is that appropriate on WP? Alan Liefting 06:16, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I disagree and was wondering if I should write a page about the agency I am signed up to. If the list of agents got really big then perhaps it should be revised. As it stands it is only a few and many will find it useful. It is very difficult to get published without an agent and many of the contributers here might be looking for one. The agents only make money if they manage to sell the work of their authors so it is not really direct advertising. Besides a good agent will have loads of people coming to them anyway, by overtly advertising they would only be making more work for themselves.

We could limit the list of agents to those who have died. Seriously, that would take care of a lot of the problems. GeorgeLouis 15:03, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea. Andham2000 Andham2000 11:22, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
