janis donnaud and associates janis donnaud literary agent scams disabled author for $10k new york new york
i am a severely disabled and handicapped author.
i signed with this agent, and stayed with her just 3 months. during that time i only met with her for 30 mins. she reviewed and lightly edited the book proposal. but no book was ever written, the proposal not even finished.
I had to leave her due to deteriotating health and personal issues. when i terminated the contract, after the 3 months, per contract stipulations (i gave 30-day notice and said i would compensate her for her proposal edits). she informed my attorney that in order for me to be released,
I WILL HAVE TO PAY HER $10,000!
charging a disabled author who only has one book to his name $10k is simply shameful and inexcusible for any agent. she has taken advantage of my disability, and victimized me, holding me "hostage" until i pay this ridiculous fee. I reported her to authors guild, AAR, and writer beware, but i might have to take her to court.
STAY AWAY FROM JANIS DONNAUD AT ALL COSTS! SHE WILL SCAM AND RIP YOU OFF IF YOU ARE DISABLED!

You signed with this person to write the book for you? This is not a normal service for a literary agent.
