Hey Guys, Gals, and Non-Binary pals! I decided to make a post for my fellow writers.
I received a message from a company wanting to sign a contract to move my story (I suspect the Sanders Sides book) over to their platform. This is sketchy on multiple levels, and if I hadn’t previously known about this type of thing I might’ve agreed.
Sweet Beans, NEVER sign any contracts without being 110% comfortable with every word in it, and make sure to read every bit. Make copies, cover your own butt. Companies shouldn’t message you on here, but research the heck out of them if they do. Report their account on here just in case they are scamming others, it can help prevent younger writers from falling for their trap.
Wattpad has a great support post about this, which I’ll link on the bottom of this update. Stay safe small ones, and protect yourself and your hard work.
Stay safe y’all, keep writing.
