The New York Literary Agency, Fraud ripoff New York New York

The New York Literary Agency, New York Literary Agency,

There is a lot of dirt on these people.

I found the dirt at on them at the website of absolutewrite in their forums room.

Other known websites of theirs are.

Stylus Literary Agency (formerly ST Literary Agency)
The Children's Literary Agency
The Christian Literary Agency
The New York Literary Agency
Poets Literary Agency
The Screenplay Agency

I did a search in ripooffreport first and found nothing on The New York Literary Agency so I went into deeper investigations online.

The New York Literary Agency doesn't supply a phone number on their website. They say you must request it before it will be sent to you. I supposedly if true was getting emails by a person named Sherry - VP of Acquisitions aka Sherry Fine

I recently contacted The New York Literary Agency, then I began an immediate follow up investigation on them because their practice of work did not seem legit in how they operated through emails to me. Below is a question and statement from a website named anotherealm I found many accusations through forum URL'S off of this website of fraud by The New York Literary Agency and felt everyone should be informed of what I found that is stated below.

The New York Literary Agency

I am struggling to find an agent to represent my second novel. I recently received a contract for the New York Literary Agency and wanted to know if anyone had any experience with them or has any information on them. They appear to be obscure.

New York Literary Agency?

They're an utter scam. A fraud. A cheat. They'll take your money and give you nothing in return.

They claim to have offices at 275 Madison Avenue, 4th Floor, right? You know what's actually there? A mail-forwarding operation. "New York Literary Agency" is actually based in Boca Raton, Florida.

Neither New York Literary Agency, nor its parent, ST Literary Agency, has ever sold a book to a legitimate publisher. Their founder, Robert Fletcher, is a convicted swindler.

Stay away! Very bad news. They aren't just obscure: They're crooks.

More information I found in a forum about This agency below.

The New York Literary Agency

The New York Literary Agency is one of several new "agencies" under the umbrella of The Literary Agency Group Inc. The Literary Agency Group Inc. appears to be a spinoff of the infamous Stylus Literary Agency (until recently known as the ST Literary Agency), owned and operated by Robert Fletcher. Writer Beware has received scores of complaints about Stylus Literary/ST Literary, which charges fees, promotes its own paid editing services, and submits in a haphazard fashion to inappropriate publishers (when it submits at all). It uses a boiler room-style operation, with clients receiving substantially identical e-mails and responses.

Right now, the Literary Agency Group Inc. umbrella appears to embrace the following:

Stylus Literary Agency (formerly ST Literary Agency)
The Children's Literary Agency
The Christian Literary Agency
The New York Literary Agency
Poets Literary Agency
The Screenplay Agency
More, no doubt, to come.

Writer Beware has documented that these agencies all operate in much the same way, using the same boiler-room-style approach as the original Stylus, with nearly identical intake materials and contracts. Right now, the main focus of the operation appears to be persuading writers to buy paid critique services (at a cost of between $50 and around $90) and editing services (anywhere from $99 to over $2,000) from a service that's described as a "sister" company but in fact appears to be under common ownership with the agencies (this is a conflict of interest: if an agency can make money by recommending critiques or editing, how can the writer trust that the recommendation is in his/her best interest?). There may also be other paid adjunct services, and it's possible that there are vanity publishers somewhere in the mix.

Neither Stylus Literary Agency/ST Literary Agency nor any of its spinoffs have any commercial book or script sales, as far as we're aware, despite their claims to the contrary.
