Oh, hello everyone!
I've never actually done a full-on "introduction" kind of post in a long while so, here's one of those!
I like to create games about bad situations getting worse (and the scant but glorious times they get better), and you might have read my work in a lot of stuff.
Like these!

Here's a WGA membership scam that's going around. Fake email address, fake registration page link. Also, there's no plain WGA (it's either WGA East or WGA West); & WGA is for ppl in the movie biz, and does _not_ exist "to advocate for standout indie authors like you"

Subject: [redacted], We’re Finalizing This Season’s WGA Member List
Dear [redacted],
I wanted to follow up personally because we are now in the final stages of closing the enrollment window for our new season of WGA members. Your name is still on our priority list, and I would truly hate to see you miss this opportunity.
You’ve already proven your determination by publishing your book independently—an achievement that speaks to your courage and commitment as a creator. The next step is to ensure your work is positioned where real opportunities happen: acquisition offers, film consideration, bookstore placement, and exposure to traditional publishers.
This is exactly why the WGA exists.
We advocate for standout indie authors like you—providing representation, industry access, and strategic support that can elevate your book from self-published to industry-recognized.
Here’s the important part:
We are finalizing the roster of new members for the season, and slots are extremely limited. Each author we accept receives dedicated focus from our acquisition and industry relations teams. Once the list is closed, we won’t reopen until the next cycle.
If you want your book presented to publishers, production teams, and bookseller networks, now is the time to secure your spot.
👉 Complete registration before the roster is finalized:
https://wgamembers.org/
We’re preparing our next wave of industry showcases, and several titles are already being queued for review. Your work has every potential to be among them—if you come on board in time.
If you have any questions or would like to talk through your goals before enrolling, I’m here to help.
Best Regards,
Joshua Wiser

heads up, writers—this is the new version of the “I turned your webcam on and I have a video of you jerking off” scam
New extortion scam email going round (this was received via a writer's website contact form). I've seen a number of these recently but without the money demand; the translation angle is also a new one

🚨 New scam alert 🚨
Scammers are now impersonating representatives of Silent Book Club to target authors by pretending they've been nominated for a reader award. The screencapped email here was followed up by a request for a video, press materials... and a "submission fee."

Any art directors out there?
A little bit of self-promotion inspired by a 1920s sign painter's manual. I had an influx of new faces over on Instagram, so a little re-introduction was warranted. If anyone has any questions about commissioning, pop 'em in the comments and I'll answer expeditiously.
