Hey Cagna!
Hello! I don't usually make an announcement without anything to announce about my stories, but I'd like to say this to everyone out there, especially young writers.
PLEASE STEER CLEAR OF PEOPLE MESSAGING YOU TO EMAIL TO THEN ABOUT GETTING YOUR BOOK PUBLISHED.
I know, it's exciting. To see that someone is interested in getting your book made and you get money out of it, but PLEASE be careful!
Make sure to have proper research on the people or business contacting you whether they're legit or not. Just because they seem real, doesn't mean they always are.
Truthfully, I almost got scammed, but thanks to a dear friend who told me to research, I escaped a possible horrible outcome.
Although unfortunately, I found out that copying and pasting using Chrome wattpad is possible, so do be careful. Even though you may say 'no', they can still go against your wishes.
In my opinion, the best way to make sure that your book won't get pirated is to make sure that you have another draft that's outside of any sites you write on. Therefore you'll have evidence that the story is indeed yours.
Again, be careful, awesome bitches!
