Author Scams

They love your book. They see a bestseller. They just need your credit card.

For authors, an unsolicited invitation can feel like the break they’ve been waiting for. The trouble begins when the praise leads to a payment.

With dry wit and a sharp eye for suspicious promises, Robert Gill Jr. explores the schemes aimed at writers, from counterfeit book clubs and impersonated publishers to dubious publicity packages and Hollywood dreams with an invoice attached.

AUTHOR SCAMS helps new and seasoned authors recognize the warning signs, question flattering offers, and protect their money without surrendering their ambition.

You worked hard to write your book. Don’t let someone else turn it into their payday.
