"In Just $299" - Publishing SCAMS You Need To Avoid!! Part 1

In our first episode, Angela and Brian tackle the astronomical rise in scams that target writers and authors. These criminals from outside the US are using professional looking websites, social media, and direct messaging to lure people in with the promise of writing related services at bargain-basement prices. But look out! Once they have your money, you're not getting it back - or any of the promised services. 

These scammers are claiming to offer book publishing, ghost-writing services, editing, website and SEO services, cover design, interior formatting ... the list goes on and on. 

In this pilot episode, Angela and Brian discuss:

• The scope of the problem
• Stories from victims they have personally communicated with
• What tactics these criminals are using to steal your money
• The efforts the WritersWeekly team have been making to fight this problem
• How Facebook is involved, (and, in our opinion, complicit) in the problem
• Signs you can look for to know if a "publisher" is actually a scam artist
• Things you can do to protect yourself
