Nothing makes us madder than hearing an author who’s come to us for help was taken advantage of by a publishing scam or unethical marketing practices, so in this episode we unpack numerous ways we see authors getting sucked in by offers that are really too good to be true.

Our goal for this episode is to highlight some of the most common (and expensive) scams in publishing, along with some of the most overhyped marketing services, what to look out for, what to avoid, and when it’s a good idea to push for more answers!
