AAA's new guidelines 'promote good practice' for self-publishing | The Bookseller

The freshly issued set of guidelines on "new agenting services" from the Association of Authors' AgentsThe association of UK agents. Their website (http://www.agentsassoc.co.uk/index.html) gives a Directory of Members and a code of practice, but no information about the agencies other than their names. The association refers visitors to the UK agent listings from The Writers' & Artists' Yearbook on the WritersServices site. (AAA) will help literary agents who "may not yet have had the opportunity to work out what good practice might mean to them" when it comes to self-publishing, the AAA has said.
The Good Practice Guidelines for New Agenting Services document, which sits alongside the AAA's Code of Practice, aims to help agents who are changing and diversifying their services to include helping authors publish their own work.
