Good warning for everyone. Sometimes we are so anxious to get the word out there, we will turn to the company that seems most accessible or contacts us. We need to do our research. There are times we don’t know what we don’t know and we can’t figure out who to ask. 🙂 That’s when we are vulnerable.

My aging Aunt was taken advantage of (in my humble opinion) by such a company. I have tried to explain a few things to her about this publishing industry however, she doesn’t really know how to process all the information. I know she believed there was going to be a whole lot more done for her than there was. When she calls me for help, I do what I can but sometimes it’s not enough.

Sorry to hear that Annette – we can only keep reminding everyone about these things and hope it helps them avoid the traps 🐵

Agreed. Her book is published, she makes some sales and for the most part her dream has come true. So I look at the bright sides of what has transpired. However, I do remind her that I am here for guidance and support should she decide to write another book. I have even offered to put it together for her!
