   Aug 13, 2020 · The solicitation is the main indicator, but scam sign is all over the website: non-working social media and other links, false claims to rep trad-pubbed books, and there’s no independent evidence of the existence of any of the supposed agents.

   • Riding the Coattails of Publishing Influencers. If you Google “Anne R. Allen,” about halfway down the SERP (Search Engine Results Page) — before a link to this blog — is an ad for a notorious vanity publisher.
   • Vanity Publishers Posing as Big Five Publishers. Never underestimate the chutzpa of publishing scammers. One of the Philippines companies that broke off from the Author Solutions scam machine has been posing as “Hachette US” and may be masquerading as other members of the Big Five.
   • Fraudster Marketing Companies that Use Names of Respected Publishing Professionals. Mass-spamming the general public with press releases or tweets is worth absolutely nothing.
   • Boxed Sets That Promise USA Today Bestseller Status. I warned people about boxed set scams last year, because there were some that devolved into toxic cults, but there are new scammers in town, and charities have been ripped off as well as authors.

   Are lurking predators coming up with new publishing scams?

   • Lurking predators are always coming up with new publishing scams. I read a quote recently from an indie author who said he felt sorry for new writers who fall for scammy vanity publishers — because they obviously have no writer friends to clue them in.

   Are Author Solutions scammers posing as 'Hachette US'?

   • Never underestimate the chutzpa of publishing scammers. One of the Philippines companies that broke off from the Author Solutions scam machine has been posing as “Hachette US” and may be masquerading as other members of the Big Five.

   Is Goodreads a scam?

   • Goodreads simply has no policing and nobody to complain to when scammers use the site to commit fraud. The chances of getting a review from a Goodreads giveaway are slim, and that narrow chance is not worth gambling your career and well-being. To give out review copies, try Booksprout, Hidden Gems, NetGalley or BookFunnel.

   Are big book fairs a scam?

   • Paying some company big bux to have your book displayed at big book fairs is money down the toilet. Your book will be lost among thousands of others and the company may not even bother to display it. David Gaughran warned about these book fair scams in a blogpost back in September, and Victoria Strauss mentioned them just this week.

   Do authors get reviews on Goodreads?

   • After paying the Goodreads fee, plus postage, authors not only don’t get reviews, but they see their signed books for sale online. One bookseller in the Midwest apparently stocks much of her store with Goodreads giveaway books. I’m not going to use any names, because this bookseller is not only a crook but a sadistic bully.

   Are Author Solutions deceptive?

   • “Author Solutions preys upon the dreams of authors by selling them expensive services that sound exciting but do not actually sell any books. Their defense: They aren’t being deceptive because they aren’t trying to sell books.
