This Site Will Earn You an Immediate Rejection

If you follow this blog, you may be aware that I am vehemently opposed to these websites that go onto my site or other sites and take the information they find there, boil it down to useless categories, and then publish it on their own site, often charging authors to find out information they can get for free. The latest I have run into is firstwriter.com and I have to urge you to stay away from this site. If you found my site through that site, go ask for a refund. Because I will not be accepting any queries or submissions that come from authors who are clients of firstwriter.com. Mentioning them will get you an automatic rejection.

I have repeatedly asked to have my firm removed from this site and they have refused. Click here to read it all in a PDF. Judge their behavior for themselves and if you agree with me, kindly let Mr. Dyson know.

Thank you.

  1. I'm baffled as to why the site owner refuses to remove your name from their data base.

    Oh wait, it's because they CHARGE for information that is freely available elsewhere. Grrrr...
