Shocking Allegations Rock Meta: Is the Social Media Giant Turning a Blind Eye to Human Trafficking Profits?
During my naïve beginnings in self-publishing just over a year ago, I thought it was imperative to join as many publishing groups as possible. Unfortunately, you must be as circumspect and reticent as if you are dealing with the devil himself. Because, you ARE. They have become overrun by criminals lying in wait. There are good groups with vigilant managers but the Facebook Predator Cancer has metastasized.
It is critical for aspiring authors to diligently research everything. Take nothing at face value. You, and you alone, hold the purse strings and you, and you alone, are in the driver’s seat. Any pressure from a prospective publisher, agent, or production company is a giant red flag that you are heading for disaster. Invariably, you hold the copyright – you hold the keys. Review whatever direction you choose to follow with a trusted friend, an accountant, a lawyer, or even Angela Hoy. She charges nothing to help authors avoid getting fleeced! Communicate with someone. It’s imperative!
