Great info. Also depressing. My name is Leo Tolstoy. I wrote this book called War and Peace. Everyone says it's too long. Hi, my names James Joyce. I wrote a book called Ulysses which is completely unreadable. Hi, my name is Stacey and I have millions of instagram followers. I wrote a book about dusting. My point is.

Kensington publishing is a trustworthy company. Traditional publishing is very hard to get into and you must give up the rights. I ran into this ghostwriting company that scammed me not only were ghostwriting scammers but they also were publishing scams too. In today's world a lot of people are not depending on traditional publishers, they are now becoming their own publisher by starting their own publishing company.

What happened to the list of scammers you promised?

At 1:15, you said, you would tell "which publishers to avoid, specifically." I didn't hear any specific names, and I listened all the way through. With that said, I'm figuring the reason is to not get sued. But your video still doesn't follow through with the promise.

I am not trying to be on Oprah Winfrey's show. Oprah is a black woman just like me. She's black, I am black, she is a black woman, I am a black woman, I bleed, she bleeds, Oprah is a person , and so am I. She's not made of gold like everyone thinks she is.
