Exposed: The $26K Bookstore Plot Promising Fame That Could Cost You Everything
Again, the bookstore does NOT pay royalties to the author! And, this is standard publisher language. Bookstores do NOT use this language.
Even if the fake publisher was going to send out copies:
“The book shall be placed across up to 150 (name removed) locations.”
Hold on. “Up to” could mean just ONE STORE! Also, did you catch the syntax error?!?!
AND, THE BIG ONE!
“Unsold copies may be subject to return to the Publisher or Author under terms to be negotiated separately if necessary.”
Any author with half a brain in his or her skull would NEVER spend $26K (!!!) and then only think about negotiating returns later!!
