Suggested Etiquette for Contacting Agents:
1. Do not send attached files containing manuscripts to agents unless the agent's guidelines expressly state that those are acceptable within initial correspondence.
2. Email messages should be kept to a length of one or two pages unless explicitly invited to send a manuscript or sample chapters.
3. Authors should advise an agent where the agent was found listed. This helps them offer updates to any incorrect listings.
4. Do not send synopses to screenplay agents or movie production companies.
   Some listings offer legal services only:
5. Do not send queries or submissions to legal services unless the agency specifically states it handles both literary and legal representation.

• 2/3/04: a writer reports this agency is under criminal investigation with the San Angelo Police Department. Detective Brian Elkins is the contact person and can be reached by email: brian.elkins@sanangelopolice.org.

• 2/26/04: "Since September 2002 the San Angelo Police Department assisted by several other law enforcement agencies has been investigating the company(s) known as Helping Hands Literary Service, Janet Kay & Associates and JanGeo Ink. The crime alleged is "Theft" by deception."

  "These companys were taking fees for contacts with publishers. The investigation shows that although the fees were being taken personal contact or contact only with publishers did not happen. Clients were led to believe that they had a high chance of being published if money was given for office expenses.

  "On January 30, 2004 a search warrant was served on the home and business of Janet Kay and George Titsworth. All manuscripts and writings submitted to this business were seized and placed in evidence. These manuscripts and writings will remain in evidence until the conclusion of the investigation and prosecution of all involved.

  "Soon after the search warrant was served I was advised that the business was abandoned. At this time there is nothing/nobody left in what used to be the office for Janet Kay and Associates. The phones and mail are going unanswered.

  "Many of you have questions about plagiarism and your contracts. At this point I have no information that leads me to believe that any of the writings submitted were used in any illegal way. As for the contracts you have signed the best I can inform you is to consult with a local attorney in your area. Attorneys in this area advised that a contract is only as good as both parties fulfill the letter of the contract.

  "If you have yet to file a complaint with the police department please fill out the form Statement of Fact (contact Detective Elkins via the email link below).

  "If you have already filed a complaint with the police department you may receive an e-mail from my office needing more information. If this is the case you will also need to go to the web link and complete the form. Many of you have registered your name but we need complete information for the case file. In addition, if you have any paperwork, documentation, correspondence with any one or more of theses companies, please forward a copy to the San Angelo Police Department attn; Det. Brian Elkins. Scanned or electronic copies my be sent to brian.elkins@sanangelopolice.org."

• 2/10/04: Writer Beware is reporting that this agency is closing.

• 10/14/05 - Janet Kay and Associates, when they appear in court in November, may get off without any prison time and a promise to repay restitution of $100,000 with no apparent time limit set meaning it can extend beyond their term of parole. This means their victims will have to take their individual cases to civil court later to force restitution. According to Karla Thomas of the Victim/Witness Office, Tom Green County District Attorney's Office, Janet Kay and George Titworth will plead guilty and receive a sentence of 10 years deferred adjudication probation and be ordered to pay a total of $100,000.00 in restitution. Victims are to contact her by email for restitution and manuscript recovery.
