If you've queried a publisher or literary agent and they say they want to acquire your book, but that there's a small editing fee or publishing fee... RUN.

That's 100% a scam.

Legitimate literary agents or publishers do not charge the authors anything.

DO NOT pay someone to be your literary agent (they get a percent of your royalty check) or your publisher (they get a percent of the sales).

If someone is offering to publish your book but asks for money: RUN.

#LianaEdits #AmWriting #Publishing #PubTip

The exceptions to these rules are:
- people hiring ghostwriters
- authors who plan to go Traditional but want an editor before they query

#LianaEdits #Publishing #PubTip

The only authors who pay money are Indie authors who pay for edits, cover art, and possibly formatting. You can look up the rates for editors here:

If you're a traditionally published author with an agent or publisher - YOU PAY NOTHING.

Money flows to you, not away from you.
