Is it standard practice for agents to charge fees?
No. The Association of Author’s Representatives (AAR), Canon of Ethics prohibits agents from soliciting reading fees, packaging fees, author contributions, and obtaining profits from editing referrals. Agents should derive their revenue from the sale of clients’ work, not from editing or other presale services such as copying/postage, administration, or reading/reviewing. Some agents do not adhere to these standard practices. Please note: we make every effort to remove fee-charging agents from our directories. We do not recommend our clients pay any agent fees or advances for processing, reading, critiquing, editing, or office expenses.
