PSA since this is a free platform and there are a lot of talented authors out here (I’d know, I’m reading some really bomb ass books). If a publisher approaches you, research them. It isn’t always a scam, sometimes really great things can happen. Never ever pay them. Read the contracts, talk to people in the space that know what they’re talking about, never ever sign them the day you get them. No matter how exciting it seems. A real publisher will always give you time and never ask you for money up front. If you have the money for a lawyer to review it, please do so, but I completely understand that it’s expensive and especially to spend on a hobby.
If a publisher asks you to sign an NDA before you see their contract, block them and run.
They will prey on platforms like Wattpad.
Anyway, I’m still in a legal battle that’s killing my soul, so please be patient with me and know I adore all of you. I’ve got 8 books tied up in this shit, and that’s upward of 900k words. I’m tired, fam. They’re fighting tooth and nail to steal my IPs. Kotik is my only baby that belongs solely to me.
If I’m reading your stuff, you better believe I’m hyping you on Reddit. You already know I talk in the comments and get so freaking excited about everything that’s going on, and I truly mean it. I might have to backtrack a chapter or two when I get back to it, but I will finish everything I’ve started because you guys rock and so do your stories.
