Are you ready to write???

Are you ready to write??? If your answer is "yes", you are in the right way.
If you have a young adult novel between 120-200 pages (genre: fiction, non fiction) you can sumit it to me.
I'm a literary agent for the last 10 years in Spain. I translate the books you send to me and I submit to Contest Literary in Spain. You haven't paid to me but if your novel is awarded, i received a 15% of profits. So easy. The next contest where I send your book is "Alandar Award" with a prize of 8.000 dollars
If your work has 120-200 pages, it is a novel and belongs to fiction or non fiction, do not doubt, send it to me to the e-mail: antonio_portillo_lop@hotmail.com

valeca is an unknown quantity at this point
Note: Moved to Writers' Resources.

On a more personal note: While I admire any individual's ability to speak more than one language, your translation skills need serious work before anyone can take this offer seriously.

*Angel is on a distinguished road
Send a message via AIM to *Angel
i'm sorry but this feels highly suspect,

poor translation ability, non-formal means of communication, no website, no explanation of the "award"
and only a single google quarry is found for said award(that doesn't even really pertain to it), id imagine something that had an 8,000 dollar prize would be easier to find. and a lot of other information feelsleft out.

just seems fishy that we send you work over email that meet said criteria, and if we win were supposed to hear back from you over email and than somehow receive this 85% of 8,000
