So that's my story. I haven't actually shared all of this before. Not so publicly. But I hope that it'll shed some light on the process. Not everyone who is a publisher is looking out for you. Not everyone who is a publish is a terrible human being, though either.
Currently, I'm wrestling with so much self-worth issues, I do wonder if it is just ME.
If nothing else, I finally have it off of my chest. Because I was definitely too scared.
Thank you for your time.
THE END
@gwonk Yeah, it's pretty depressing. :( I always tell new authors: this is a long game.
The scammers take advantage of our impatience and desperation to see our name on the shelves.
@BabyToaster My sister embarked on publishing her book last year. I helped with researching and was shocked at the number of scammers targeting new writers. Stories like yours and others who had manuscripts stolen or ignored.
Sorry you had such a hard time.
