Freelance Writing Tip #4: Money Flows to the Writer

There are several publishers, agents, and other folk out there who claim to “get you published” if you pay them “x” amount of dollars. Writer Beware! As a creator, money is always supposed to flow toward the writer—not the other way around. So use your common sense; if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If you’re still interested, it can’t hurt to do a little more checking to see whether or not that business is on the up-and-up. Regardless, you should never have to pay someone else for the work you do.
