the same trend this year, including impersonation of publishing personnel and fake publishing or distribution deals. Like our lives as authors aren't hard enough already. Back the fuck off, assholes. #writingcommunity #writingsky #writing #scriptsky #indieauthors @authorsguild.org

Are you a writer? I love bouncing story/character ideas off the linotype.
