Inside the Shocking Rise of “Celebrity Author” Scammers Deceiving the Literary World
DISTURBING POSTSCRIPT: A woman contacted me last week. She received a phone call from one of the scam cartel companies. She didn’t answer. They kept calling and calling, and leaving messages. They then went online, Googled her name, and found out her address and her relatives’ names, addresses, and phone numbers.

Luckily, she’d been reading WritersWeekly, and knew that all “book to movie deals” are scams.
