Do yourselves a good turn and make sure to follow Author Beware by @victoriastrauss

"there is a kind of alchemical process where long-standing strains and stresses within a publisher...abruptly reach critical mass and boil to the surface in the form of a rush of complaints."
Here's yet another essential resource for #IndieAuthors from @victoriastrauss: a list of the legitimate publishing people and organizations who are most frequently impersonated by scammers, as well as a short primer on how to recognize a scam/phishing attempt that's apparently coming from a legitimate source.
Via Writer Beware: in order to avoid scammers, you must understand how your industry actually works. This post tackles the oh, so tempting "we can help you get your book made into a movie!" scam.
