Good Publishers and Bad Scams

As many of you may have noticed the layout for Betty Adams Tall Tales has changed dramatically recently. This is due to my wonderful publisher and most specifically Brian (thanks man!) who thought my page could use a facelift. 
Now in this day and age there are far more venues for publishing than there used to be. For myself I chose MQuills both for the convenience it offered and their sheer bulk buying power.  There was also the added benefit that they seem to have shielded me from the worst of the scammers that usually plague new authors. Now there are a fascinating number of ways the unscrupulous have to relieve you of your money but Writer's Weekly  has managed to corral the most common into a list. ​
  • Congrats! Your book is finally published! And, within hours or perhaps even minutes of it appearing online, you receive an email from somebody wanting you to pay them to promote your book. You get another one from a fee-based book reviewer. And, another one from someone who wants you to pay them to publish your book all over again. And, another from a woman who claims to want to make your book into a movie. And, another from a guy who claims to be a traditional publisher but who really isn’t. Oh, and let’s not forget about the foreign retailer who wants to buy 1,000 copies of your book on acount, but he needs them yesterday! {Rea d more here}
Basically keep your eyes open and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
