Here’s a warning from Victoria Stauss’s Writer Beware about the kinds of publishing predators
you may encounter at #PitMad or other digital pitching events. The sponsors of these events always encourage writers to check agents and editors carefully before submitting. Strauss’s example here contains plenty of red flags, but not all may be as transparent.
Thanks again to Writer Beware for keeping our eyes open.
