Junk marketing: DE MODE Magazine is soliciting authors on Facebook and Instagram, offering inclusion in an UNPUTDOWNABLE BOOKS FOR 2023 article for $200. Here's the one I received #WriterBeware #WritingCommunity

@victoriastrauss: First, it’s hilarious that, in a solicitation aimed at writers, the grammar is so atrocious. Second, the way they’ve written this:You pay them $200, and then you have to interview *them*. Who would fall for this?

@rlpaulprodn Like the Nigerian scammers of old, they probably don't need that many in order to make a killing.

@victoriastrauss "know your audience" was never so apt.
