Word·Link Literary Representation, Word·Link USA Distribution, and Word·Link Editorial are three separate entities functioning independently under the umbrella of Word·Link Worldwide, Ltd. We believe it is important to draw strict lines of distinction to maintain our integrity in the publishing industry.

•	Submissions to Word·Link Literary Representation are accepted by invitation only. This is due to the large commitment of time required to give the manuscript the consideration it deserves. Any manuscript submitted to Word·Link Literary Representation is judged on its merits, marketability, the high standards we expect from our clients, and the enthusiasm an agent in the genre has to take it on. If it does not meet these criteria, it will be rejected and the author will receive no promotional material from Word·Link Editorial.
•	If an author engages the services of Word·Link Editorial for manuscript assessment or copyediting, these manuscripts will be treated with the utmost respect, provided the best editorial and assessment service available, and returned when the work is done. They are not forwarded to Word·Link Literary Representation for consideration.
•	If an author engages our services for consultation on contracts or self-publishing, it should not be construed as an agreement that Word·Link USA Distribution will carry the book in the catalogue. We only represent a very select few books for distribution.

These guidelines are set up for the protection of the author to help avoid the scams so often found in this business such as promises of representation after costly editing work is completed. Word·Link Worldwide does not, and will never, participate in such practices.
