Writer Beware's Annual Round-Up of Scams

I highly recommend subscribing to Writer Beware's free email newsletter and to make a habit of following their discussion of trending scams if one is at all interested in publishing. I frequently see people in writers' groups announcing they have just signed with this or that publisher or that this movie studio just reached out to themm and so on, and wonder how many thousands of dollars these particular scammers will get out of their victims before they clue in they've been had. It's painful to watch but people don't listen. So, as a bare minimum, read this annual round-up of 2024 scams that cost authors hundreds of millions of dollars.
