Today (23 April) England will be celebrating St. Georges Day.

A rather dubious character in history. I'm more a follower of St Edmund a King of East Anglia known as Edmund the Martyr - at least he was English - Unlike George.

The true celebration on the 23 April should be William Shakespeare who enriched the nation.

He was born on 23 April 1564 and died on 23 April 1616 - yes, his Birthday!

WRITERS:
I've worked as an editor for some years now, both in traditional publishing and freelance. There are five questions to ask if you are worried about getting scammed in the publishing industry.

Let's say you have an offer from a publisher, who says they want to publish your book...

1) Are they asking for money? Then it's definitely a scam.

2) Are they contacting you before reading your manuscript? Then it's definitely a scam.

3) Do they want you to sign a contract before they have read any of your manuscript? Then it's definitely a scam.

4) Have they approached you out of the blue on social media, and messaged you in your DMs? Then it's definitely a scam.

But mostly...

5) Does it feel like a scam? Then it's definitely a scam.
