Literary Kittie reveals Danger

  Literary Kittie back from an extended Cat Nap, has just found a website to warn all her literary writing friends from bad guys out there in publishing land. It was created by the SFWA, a professional organization for authors of science fiction, fantasy and related genres.

It’s called

WRITER BEWARE ® 

And it’s got the entire scoop on scams that lie in wait for the unsuspecting author. Throws light on fake contests and awards. Copyright issues every author should know. The ins and outs of electronic publishing. A host of ideas for anyone wanting to get published without seeing their money go out the door and get nothing in return.

There is also a Writer’s Beware Blog with the latest news. There’s some really interesting stuff there; about the publishing industry, plagarism, unscrupulous fee charging for events by unscrupulous publishers and the list goes on.  I’m not a writer but I found lots of good information and book news. Literary Kittie is particularly happy with the April 1 entry and is rooting for the felines in Cats v. Google in the Brocculi Kitten lawsuit.
