  • Literary Agent Ethics: The AALA Rules on Fees, Editing & Client Money

    Literary Agent Ethics: The AALA Rules on Fees, Editing & Client Money
    Nov 17 2025
    Learn how to identify a trustworthy agent and build your practice on a foundation of integrity. This podcast is your guide to the professional standards that protect authors and agents.

    What are the non-negotiable rules for a legitimate literary agent?

    Dr. Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander breaks down the Association of American Literary Agents' (AALA) Canon of Ethics live and unedited.

    This is essential listening for any author seeking representation or an aspiring agent building a credible career. We dissect the critical rules, including:

    · The strict prohibition on reading fees and upfront charges.

    · How ethical agents must handle client money with separate bank accounts.

    · The crucial firewall between paid editorial services and literary representation.

    · Understanding fiduciary duty and avoiding conflicts of interest.

    · How adhering to these rules increases your chances of AALA membership.

    This live deep dive into the AALA Canon of Ethics demystifies what it takes to be a legitimate literary agent. For authors, let this be your guide: any agent who charges you upfront fees for representation, blurs the lines with editorial services, or is not transparent about money is not operating ethically and should be avoided.

    For my fellow aspiring agents, this isn't a barrier—it's a roadmap. By building your practice on this foundation of integrity, client-first service, and financial transparency, you are not just preparing an application for the AALA; you are building a reputable and successful business that authors can trust.

  • The Legitimate Literary Agent: AALA Membership, Ethics, and No Upfront Fees

    The Legitimate Literary Agent: AALA Membership, Ethics, and No Upfront Fees
    Nov 15 2025
    What truly defines a legitimate literary agent or agency?

    In this episode, we do a deep dive into the Association of American Literary Agents (AALA) to answer this critical question.

    While many reputable agents are AALA members, we uncover the surprising fact that membership is not mandatory for legitimacy. The key indicator is a clear, ethical fee structure.

    We break down the AALA's membership levels, application process, and their strict Canon of Ethics, which prohibits the red-flag practice of charging authors upfront reading fees or making representation contingent on paid editorial services.

    Whether you're an aspiring author seeking representation or an aspiring agent building your career, this episode provides the essential guide to navigating the industry with confidence, emphasizing that legitimate agents work on a commission-only basis, earning money only when they successfully sell your book.
