You may have seen the news that Mango Publishing has closed. Below is the letter sent to authors and others by Christopher McKenney, Mango's founder. Writer Beware has heard from Mango authors who are owed $$--including some who say they have _never_ been paid.
at least the Spurs are playing better

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/
I don't do tiktok, but Instagram (IG) has been a good platform for me. Sometimes you see my exhausted mugshot LOL but being able to create and post animations etc has been fun and useful for promotions.

Some of the authors I follow (like @scalzi.com and @diane.dianeduane.com) have been posting a lot about the upcoming Anthropic settlement. It has now been filed to the docket, and I have looked it over (I do this sort of thing for a living). I’m sure a lot of writers have a lot of questions about it

Authors: if you get an email invite from the Greater Hopewell Book Club, it's a scam: it charges an appearance fee (which it misleadingly describes as an honorarium) of $150. (If this reminds you of other AI-generated solicitations you've rec'd recently, that's not a coincidence)

I wrote down some notes on privatization and the transfer of wealth. Tell the MAGA in your lives that they’re subsidizing billionaires by voting for republicans.
So many AI generated emails and DMs are flooding authors everyday. It's worse than SPAM emails and calls....

I'm receiving emails offering reviews from an unnamed group of readers if I send them PDFs of my work. The emails seem personal, yet are vague enough to be gleaned from my published synopses🚩🚩

NEVER send a PDF to a stranger unless you want it uploaded to every pirate site on the net.

Just sayin'.

It is a day for scams, apparently! An outfit called Literary Curator purports to provide various writer-related services, including editing, but the testimonials on its website, apparently from real writers, are 100% fake--with fake Xitter accounts to match substack.com/home/post/p-...
Substack is not immune to fake accounts
The Literary Curator, a member of the Substack community, is not who they say they are. Authors beware.

Fake agency alert: Dan Baror International Literary Agency, obviously trying to trick writers into believing they're being contacted by Baror International Inc. (a real agency). The About Us page has been "borrowed", in re-worded form, from the real Baror website danbaror-intliteraryagency.com

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

Creatives beware: scammers are making fake accounts to befriend you, gain trust, then "refer" you to their "main/real account" for services. It's all the same person. Stay sharp. Don't trust random referrals in DMs.

⛔Scam Alert⛔

This account is NOT @bookspotlight.bsky.social!!! Don't give them money for promotion you'll never get.

Author Beware ( @victoriastrauss.bsky.social ) just did a post on the site's owner Alwin Gnanaraj.

Do NOT give them your money. If you want to support Rebecca, buy her books.

If you're in Illinois and:

- Palestinian, or protesting the genocide in Occupied Palestine; or

- trans, or protesting for trans rights;

and you are arrested or discriminated against, I can represent you pro bono. Please email me at [email protected]. I will take as many cases as I can.
