Here is an amazing opportunity to both receive personal feedback from a literary agent AND do some good in the world at the same time. Please read this letter from NJ-based agent Anna Olswanger:
As
I do every summer, I’ve donated a manuscript consultation as a literary
agent to The Born Free Foundation online auction. Born Free is an
international wildlife charity that works throughout the world to stop
individual wild animal suffering.
