Exposed: The $26K Bookstore Plot Promising Fame That Could Cost You Everything
This one is especially egregious so we’re getting the word out about it here today.
An author contacted me, saying his “publisher” had forwarded him a contract from a major bookstore chain (that you HAVE heard of). I’m not naming it here because you all need to be on the lookout for this type of scam, regardless which bookstore chain the scammers mention. He sent me a copy of the contract as well. Looked pretty legit. But, then I read the fine print (like I always do!).
The “contract” said the author would pay $26,000 (!!!) to have 3500 copies of his book printed, shipped to, and stocked in 150 (major bookstore chain) bookstore locations.
