Almost every time I see a writer has been scammed, it's after they've encountered one of these red flags & proceeded anyway. If people just heeded the first one on the list, 90% of scams would vanish from their lives!

What's also hilarious about the "pay us to come present at our conference" scammers is that I am not only an introvert, but a die-hard homebody. My default is, "Nah, I'll just say home."

Why it took my brain almost a month to feature Thomas Mullen after meeting him for the first time is beyond me (nor could I tell you where the Maya Angelou-esque woman came from). But, as usual, this situation was baffling and bizarre. Enjoy! 😃

#FunFact: I used to be an addictions therapist. My master's degree is in addictions treatment. There's a pretty nice hop, skip, and jump between that and editing books, but (oddly) editing books has turned out to provide exponentially more overt death threats. Just how my luck works!🤦🏾♀️
