I would be interested to know if any of you have used the above service, and if so, what did you think of it.

Hi June and Damien, my question here shows my ignorance, may I ask what an "agony agent" is and does? thanks in advance. Regards Paul.

Hi June,

The first service I used was advice on my manuscript. If I'm honest I was probably more disappointed than I was satisfied with the service. Bearing in mind this could have been a one off. The majority of the report written was mostly about how to secure an agent. Probably 25% was only about my manuscript.

The second service I used was agony agent. I have to be honest I was 100% satisfied with this service. Whatever service you use I would imagine they will serve you well.

Good luck.
