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.

Pain that etches bone, then deeper still.
A leash so tight it suffocates.

If you like a book?
Review it. Ask your library to buy it. If you can afford it, buy a copy for a friend. Recommend it wherever you're social. Send the author an email, or a skeet, or a Ko-Fi. Write fanfic. Blow under the wings of the paper airplane so it can fly a little farther.

If your response to people trying to raise valid concerns over The Odyssey movie is to say “It’s fictional, get over yourselves”, then you need to grow up.
In between the usual naysayers there are people actually trying to start meaningful conversations about their culture & you’re being a dick.
