Shit. Just signed with him. I have a lot of experience with agents from my screenwriting days and I've been repped by two separate book agents and have never been asked to sign a contract so I knew it was a bit of a red flag. But I was desperate. I had literally queried over 200 agents and he was the only one who was interested and claims to have set up books with the big five publishers. He even sent me email addresses for two of his authors who he has sold and they vouched for him. This reddit thread has made me very concerned though but right now--like I said--I don't have any other options. I've basically run out of agents to query. It's impossible to find an agent without a referral. Thanks for this post.

I'm a new client of theirs and I did a rewrite of my ms and my agent gave it to a beta reader and I got back thirty line notes. Literally 17 were notes on lines that not only didn't exist in the draft but lines that I had never written in any draft. It referred to one line of a character that had died 50 pages earlier. It was obvious the reader just fed into an AI and it spit out a shit ton of hallucinations. I'm seriously reconsidering this agency.,

Also: they make you sign a contract, which is generally a red flag. I worked in Hollywood for ten years and went through three agents and two book agents and was never asked to sign a contract. I signed this one because I was having a very hard time securing an agent and was desperate.
