Why are so many authors falling victim to these criminals?
Too many authors are leaving their common sense at the door when they are being contacted by these Facebook spammers and scammers. Maybe that’s why it’s called “vanity publishing.” Our innate vanity takes over and common sense is nowhere to be found. I loathe the term vanity publishing, but maybe our poor decisions give it credence. I prefer Palliative Publishing as, often, the few legitimate self-publishing firms are relegated to correcting our missteps, and cleaning-up after we’ve been fleeced by Predators. Angela Hoy was my palliative publisher. Humbling experience and I owe her and her team a debt of gratitude.
