This is difficult to talk about... but extremely crucial ...
Around the time of my book release, a literary agency had contacted me. I did my best to confirm they were legit and all, but they took advantage of me. Luckily I caught on and had help, but I cannot imagine how many others fell victim prior to or after me.
This is one of the reasons I have not released another or have been active on social media. It took a toll on my mental health. Honestly, it sucked. I felt like everything I dreamed about (regarding my writing career) was ripped out, shredded, and gutted by these losers who think it is hilarious to steal from others. I have healed mostly.
It is absolutely DISGUSTING these monsters, these scammers would do something like this, especially to artists, authors, and others who worked incessantly and put their hearts and souls in their work. This particular agency has been reported and tagged which is great, however, they may move on to another group.
Unfortunately, agencies will never contact you. Usually, authors and artists seek out for agents and agencies for representations etc. I was fairly new and trusted these losers.
I have countless voicemails of them using different names and changing the names of the agencies but I know it is all them. Block them all. Be safe. Keep pursuing your dreams.
Please triple check, report, and block these scammers. I truly believe and know there is a special place down there for these scammers. For them to crush our childhood dreams, I only want to protect writers and others. Be aware and be safe. Please message me on IG for more information. Thank you!
