Should I pay an agent charge to read my manuscript? What about paying for a review of my newly-published book? "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is" applies to all aspects of writing and publishing. The problem is that when a writer is just starting out, he or she doesn't always know what is "standard" and what is an outrageous practice.
This guide helps new writers spot fraudulent claims, cons, and simply scams in writers' services like editing, file conversions and coaching. Please note the 13 KB file size. It is an article, not a book.
Many people begin writing completely unprepared for the reality that writing is a business. The Internet exacerbates the problem as the cons pop up with new names and new websites as quickly as the writing community becomes aware of them. This is especially true of "literary agencies." Writers must be prepared to deal with B2B (business to business) relationships. It is critical to find reputable people and firms to help you on the path to publishing success.
Rather than give you a long, long list of scams to be aware of, AVOID WRITING SCAMS provides understanding of:
(1) what are considered scams
(2) how or why they happen (and to whom)
(3) clear, concrete steps to take to protect yourself from being the victim of a fraud.
AVOID WRITING SCAMS also offers links directly to the best sources of information on the web -- places to go to get the latest skinny on the hottest frauds and forums where you can ask about companies and specific people (like agents, editors, coaches and self-publishing companies).Should I pay an agent charge to read my manuscript?
