Baker's Mark
I was browsing Preditors and Editors today and found a literary agency that looked like a good fit. The only electronic means by which I could submit was a web form that allowed only one sentence. So, I sent the first sentence of my query letter:
The young man only knew himself as Runaway Swimmer, an up-and-coming Cherokee leader, until his surrogate mother, Walking Wind, told him otherwise.
Here's the response I received from the agent:
It is quite possible that you are the first writer who has intrigued me with one sentence. I would very much like to see your manuscript. Could you please send the first 100 pages, with a synopsis, a bio, and a SASE to the mailing address below? I look forward to seeing more from you soon.
All the best,

and? did they turn out to be legit or did they ask for a fee or send a contract requiring you to pay all office expenses.

Seem to be legit according to Preditors and Editors. They've also had some authors published.
Glad you visited!
So whatever happened with this Baker's Match place? They requested my material, but I've not heard much about them. Your shared experience will be appreciated!
