| I acquired my first agent in 1974. Since then, I have had 4 or 5 other New York agents, but none of them could get my manuscripts read with the certainty and celerity with which Daniel Myers has always delivered. When I tried to send my work out on my own, even having published 4 major novels with 4 major New York houses, I could find no editor to read. As soon as Daniel took my manuscript--within 1 month-- several editors read my work. If you want an agent who will find the right editor for your work, send it to Daniel Myers and pray that he accepts it. | ||||||||||||||||

| Everyone involved in the agency has come from the trenches: writing for television, published novelists, short story writers, essayists, editors, and enough English degrees to choke a studio exec. We have been helping develop writers of great talent into talented writers of great skill for a dozen years. Based both in New Zealand and in the USA, Word|Link is considered one of the best manuscript assessment and editing services for making popular fiction marketable, and an agency of integrity that gets writers into print. Word|Link the agency is separate from Word|Link Editorial, and no cross-referrals take place. | ||||||||||||||||
