Teresa Nielsen Hayden from Making Light notes that an agent on the 20 Worst Agents list has been sending out cease-and-desist letters to people who make her behaviour public, and in Teresa’s case, has been filling her employer’s ear with false accusations intended to shut down her criticism. And so, I’ve replicated the links that Teresa has recommended. There are two reasons for this: the first is that unpublished writers are easy prey for scammers and this is a public service announcement, and the second is that P+TNH are wonderful and I like standing next to them. Virtually speaking, of course.
