Ratings and reviews

The app is ok but the matchmaking tool is pretty useless. I sell translation rights and yet I'm constantly paired up w authors seeking representation or other foreign rights pple. I've ticked "editor" but it doesn't exclude pple who aren't editors because I've also ticked "fiction" and "nonfiction". Therefore it shows me authors of fiction, editors of coffee table books etc. Criteria should narrow things down, not widen them! Catalogue tool not great as limited by ISBN: what about manuscripts?!

Overpriced food, storage at 2 euros per jacket. Most of the stands where already closed by 3:30pm (2hs before the end of the fair). Why did we pay 50 euros for? The publishers are the ones that get benefited from it, they get exposure, publicity, and book sales. For us it's like paying to enter to the shopping center, and 25 euros per person is a lot.

Even though I have a stable internet connection, I get the error "Data couldn't be loaded. Please check your internet connection and try again later". I have already made an account on the website, but couldn't access the matchmaking service after two days of struggle. Please help!
