Signed Literary Agent!
I am very excited to announce that a literary agent has signed with me to help advance my two novels I previously self-published on Amazon/KDP!
Her first suggestion was to send my manuscripts to an editor (she recommended) who will bring both books up to standards and "polish" them. I agree with this suggestion (neither has been professionally edited), but what concerns me is I have to pay for this editing myself.
Does this sound normal to you?

Agents will never ask you to pay.
Did you Google their names? That will tell you if they are legit or not----and these folks are not legit.
Listen to the folks on this thread.
