As for the scams that are associated with literary agents, it is important to be cautious with pay. A literary agent or agency that asks you to pay a fee upfront is a good sign of a scam.

As good as it is to have goals and dreams, it is also important to have knowledge on your side. If you do not proceed with caution, you may find yourself falling victim to some common book publishing scams.Yes, most publishers will take a percentage of the money that you make, but that percentage isn't even always talked about. Most well-known publishers will either offer you a flat fee or an advance payment.For that reason, never, under any circumstances, should you pay a publisher to publish your book for you.Never pay someone to read your book that you haven't heard of before. Since you may not know many editors or any for that matter, the proper amount of research should be done. Look for editor reviews online or ask other published writers for recommendations.Those who do not properly screen their books or those that misrepresent their books, develop a bad name for themselves.In a way, this can serve as a guarantee that you will be receiving quality, guaranteed results.If an offer, a literary agent, or an editor sounds too good to be true, chances are it is.
