I've been gone for most of the past week and so unfortunately didn't realize that the Writers Literary Agency was running ads on YWS. The Writers Literary Agency is a scam.
If you've already contacted them, don't worry about it. Just cut off all future contact with them, and certainly don't give them any of your money. Any decent literary agency will never ask for even a single cent from you.
