Hi! This year new year I hadn't made any resolutions. As a writer though, I've found out some startling information that will save me time and trouble. The crime busters standing against literary fraud on the web have tracked down several scam artists. They've been pulling the wool over writers' eyes too long and now have been nailed. The most recent schemer even was claimed to have faked her own death, posing under another identity. Also insightful news is available on the shady practices of Publish America.

I feel good to know that these types of criminals are being stopped. Researching writing markets is important to find out exactly who you're dealing with online. Doing so will help writers and others avoid wasting lots of money and contending with legal battles. Be sure to visit the good folks at the literary crime notices/warnings site at: www.writerbeware.com.

They're doing a terrific job and a service for all writers. All the latest details of reports are there. Special thanks to this group. Their continous efforts and advice are appreciated.
