WRITERS:
I've worked as an editor for some years now, both in traditional publishing and freelance. There are five questions to ask if you are worried about getting scammed in the publishing industry.
Let's say you have an offer from a publisher, who says they want to publish your book...
1) Are they asking for money? Then it's definitely a scam.
2) Are they contacting you before reading your manuscript? Then it's definitely a scam.
3) Do they want you to sign a contract before they have read any of your manuscript? Then it's definitely a scam.
4) Have they approached you out of the blue on social media, and messaged you in your DMs? Then it's definitely a scam.
But mostly...
5) Does it feel like a scam? Then it's definitely a scam.

To those who have sent out a few chapters to agents/publishers:
Any tips? What other info are you sending in? Also, what is the best time (as in a month!) to send people stuff? I'm assuming the months around #nanowrimo would be 👎🏽?
Honestly, any advice would be amazing. I'd love to be able to pass this on to others too. xoxox
