No literary agent who is going to get you a deal is going to charge you upfront. They make a percentage. That is how it works.

If someone says otherwise or tries to "upsell" you, they are scammers.

Ok, since this has come up four times in the last three days:

REPUTABLE LITERARY AGENTS WILL NOT CHARGE YOU MONEY.

IF A LITERARY AGENT WANTS TO CHARGE YOU FOR AN "EXPEDITED ACCESS PACKAGE" THIS IS A SCAM.

She is concerned about all the freezing rain and sleet outside and wondering what, exactly, I plan to do about it.
A black standard poodle with shaved ears, face and paws glares at the camera while sitting on a yellow and red patterned rug. She’s got a red flower attached to her collar. Her expression is one of concern and annoyance, with hints of pure exasperation. She’s sitting next to a large wooden coffee table (the corner of which you can see in this pic). Behind her is a white bookshelf full of books.

A four-panel comic. In panel one, a female northern cardinal and winter plumage american goldfinch are sitting at a bird feeder in a grey landscape. The cardinal says "These seeds are delicious." The goldfinch replies "Mmm-hmm." In panel 2, there's a close up of the birds at the feeder, and the cardinal says "It was nice of the human to put up this feeder." The goldfinch says "Sure was." In panel 3, the cardinal says "We should return the favor." The goldfinch says "Great idea." In panel 4, there's a pullback shot of the bird feeder, and a human is staring at it and also at a large stick next to it with a pink-iced donut at the end of it.

✨✨Seasons Greetings!✨✨

Here’s a selection of my favourite ancient Egyptian blue hippos seen on my travels.

Now where’s William? 🦛❤️

My collage shows ten photos of ancient Egyptian hippopotamus statuettes made of blue faience. I’ve drawn a santa hat on the hippo at bottom middle. This hippo is part of the collections at the Met in New York and is nicknamed ‘William’

it’s a Christmas miracle! Benji normally abhors other dogs, but she has finally become friends with Honey, my mom and dad’s little terrier mix. It only took a little over a year! 😂
From left to right: small cream-colored terrier mix wearing a blue and white holiday sweater. He is seated next to a grey poodle mix wearing a similar navy holiday sweater. Both dogs are seated atop a wooden dining chair.

This dog takes road safety very, very serious
A black standard poodle with a red flower in her collar sits in the backseat of a car watching the road intently. In front of her sits a person in a purple winter coat and black toque. The poodle, sitting up very straight, still watching the road outside the windshield intently. It’s sunny and bright but her mood remains steely.

So my amazing sister-in-law managed to get me the hugely-coveted WĀHINETOA 2026 Firefighter Calendar for Christmas and I am losing my whole everloving mind AHHHHHHHHHH SO HAPPY 😭🤩😍🥳😎🥹😆
WĀHINETOA 2026 Firefighter Calendar featuring a very buff firefighter sitting facing out from the passenger side of a fire truck smiling at the camera. She’s dressed in a black sports bra and firefighting trousers and boots. Her blonde hair is tied back. THANK YOU page of the calendar featuring all 13 firefighters standing (back row) and kneeling (front row) in front of a fire truck. They are buff, some have tattoos, some have cool dyed hair, all are in black sports tops and firefighter trousers and boots.

Tonight is Christmas Eve, when we in Iceland open presents. All the Yule Lads have already come down from the mountains, but tonight the Yule Cat arrives and he will eat all the children who weren't gifted any new clothes for Christmas.

My daughters both got woollen socks so they are safe 🙏

search your first name + “glamour shot”

What in the 80’s Glam Kathy Bates Annie Oakley get yer gun??

You know what? This works for me. I love it.
A white woman with long, light brown shoulder length curly hair bares her naked shoulders from her split open jean jacket top. There’s also a brown strap draped across her left shoulder that looks like leather and could be part of a holster. I say this because she’s got a gun in right her hand with a barrel so long it touches her chin. Her lips are puckered, either blowing imaginary smoke from the gun or in the act of kissing the gun, idk.
