auria “Hussein” cortes

Last week I discussed how I contacted a soon-to-be PA author about her options. I did this because my heart went out to her and I knew I could help. If I didn’t have the resources to be of assistance, I never would have reached out. Not because I would have cared any less, but because I didn’t see a reason to rock the boat if I didn’t have alternatives for her. So now I learn that a PA author received press from her local paper. It’s a nice article and I’m sure the author was proud. Fast forward a few weeks later, and another writer wrote to the editor of the paper explaining the reasons PA isn’t a real publisher. The title of the editorial is Writer Actually Victimized by Publishing Scam.

This person’s approach to help a fellow author doesn’t sit well with me. Intentions matter. Sometimes intentions matter more than the end result.
