Scams

Avoid these! They include contests that rip you off or aren't even judged, vanity publishers pretending to be prestigious, and literary agents who only pretend to help you. Writer Beware is another great organisation to look to for warnings (www.sfwa.org/beware). Also see About the Ads.

Still Need Confirmation

Submit possible scams here, with links to evidence if you have it (the more you give me, the less the staff will have to work to confirm it, so it would be nice if you linked to all proof you have).

Xlibris, a print-on-demand company, has been known to spam Elfwooders (without regard to age) but I don't know if this classifies them as unethical, since I last heard of it years ago, and the rest of their practises are currently fine... Any opinions?

I was asked by a member whether this place is safe or not, so I guess I'll take a look.
