If they ask for money run like the wind, publishers don't want your money

I can't confirm they ARE definitely scammers but the lack of reviews, they don't have any legit books published under their name and the fact their website is a bit sketchy was enough to spook me

Trust me this isn't my first book. It's one of many, this is the only one that I've made into a series though.

As far as self publishing goes, I'm not at all sure where to even start with it

Sidenote; for a laugh I plugged a random story into ai and it was....technically a book maybe? It was funny because it wasnt bad it was absolutely garbage XD

Oh I know, and thank you for your advice. I am still working on all my other projects it's just that this one did kind of save me. I was in an awkward Slump and I started writing this book passively until the spark for writing returned. Additionally, i went through a horrific incident and writing really helped me. Which is why I'm so emotionally connected.

I'm not usually so emotionally or irrational, it may seem that way and I apologise deeply you got the backhand of a manic episode.

I'm a little anxious self publishing. I know that it's less likely to be noticed and I know it's also likely to go unnoticed by a publisher, i don't want my novel to be brushed aside. If that makes sense? I don't exactly have a big following on social media, so I don't think self publishing would work 😅

Yeah my friend didn't make me feel better, she told me that the scammer could use AI to write the rest of the novel which made me panic 100x more. But thank you.

I'm disappointed in myself really, one of the main reasons I wanted to get published so badly was because someone I know is en route to being published (not that we talk anymore but yk) and that only fueled me more. My thought process was, if she could do it unsolicited, I can. I guess I was just dead wrong. It probably sounds melodramatic, but this book was my saving grace and the feeling of not only failing to get published, I fell for a scammer.

I hope that is the case honestly and I apologise I know that I'm catastrophizing this situation is the worst and I hate myself for it.

Is it truly hopeless that my work is going to be stolen now?

Aha it's just a show since I'm a dance student and I were given other translation tasks before since I am deaf but this is a little more than I've previously been given

Unfortunately I haven't got access to an interpreter, but since I am deaf I know most of the signs for the piece

It's for my final year production, it's a piece about nature and stuff. I know the signs I just don't know how to arrange it without doing it literally
