Third Scam

A Top 5 publisher offered the writer a deal

He felt like he was cloud walking

Just for a few minutes till he found it

The part that said the writer had to pay

For his book to be published

This broke his set in stone rule

NEVER PAY TO BE PUBLISHED

Not in a competition or publisher

He asked his top level pro contacts

They advised what he felt in his gut

This is a well dressed up scam!

The third he’d been sent

He would get a real book deal

It took skill and hard work

That’s what made luck
