A Closer Look at Referral-Scams
Here is how the scam begins: An agent tells you that you have the best book they have read in years and are going to be the next start author. All that is needed is a little polishing of the material, so they send you to an editing service. Upon your return from the editing service, with lots more work completed and thousands of dollars paid, they inform you that your book is still not good enough to submit to publishers. This book doctor scam leaves authors feeling like they have been victimized twice, once by the agent and once by the editor. Reputable agents make their money selling your work, so should not expect to see any money until that happens. The normal commission paid to an agent is ten to twenty percent of what the author was paid.
