Get Published, Not Burned

How to Avoid Scams, Shady Publishers, and Fake Agents in Today's Literary World
The publishing world is changing fast-and not always for the better. In the age of AI-generated books and market saturation from people with no writing experience, it's harder than ever for real authors to stand out-and easier than ever to get scammed.

Get Published, Not Burned is your essential guide to avoiding the traps set by vanity publishers, fake literary agents, and "pay-to-play" publishing schemes that prey on unsuspecting writers. Whether you're pursuing traditional publishing or considering self-publishing, this book will help you spot red flags, protect your work, and make smart decisions about your writing career.

You'll learn:
•
• The pros and cons of self-publishing vs. traditional publishing
• The differences between hybrid and vanity publishing
• How to identify fake agents and predatory contracts
• What to watch out for in today's AI-driven, oversaturated book market
• How to pitch your book professionally and connect with real industry professionals

With a powerful foreword by award-winning author Angelina Assanti, Get Published, Not Burned is the wake-up call every writer needs before hitting "send" on their manuscript or signing a deal.

Your words matter-don't let a scam steal your story.
