Book scams are everywhere + they're absolutely infuriating.

Emily Hitchcock from Columbus Publishing Lab joins me to talk about the dodgy world of publishing predators who target hopeful authors. She describes cold calls promising movie deals, fake bestseller lists + all the other ways scammers separate writers from their money.

Emily shares the red flags every author should know about + how to tell if you're dealing with someone legit or someone who sees "aspiring author" as "easy target."

Fair warning: this might make you angry. It should. These people are awful + authors deserve better.

Look for more shows in this Unpopular Opinions strand where we get properly worked up about things that need saying.
