HI!
New children's book person here. Looking for an angel investor. Does anyone know where a safe place might be to do this? I have connected to some real scam artists including Strategic folks who were very ready for me to send lots of money. Yikes!!

Welcome, Carol.

But why are you needing an investor?

AW. A very nice place!
Welcome :)
I know a few "angels" here, but none of the "investor" variety.
Sure you'll be happy here nonetheless and get lots of good tips.

If you don't want to get scammed, try studying the "Bewares and Background Checks" sub-forum here. There are also excellent sites such as "Writer Beware" that contain scam warnings.

I'm not really sure what you're talking about with an "investor" because publishing doesn't work like that (if you get published with a trade publisher, there is no need for investors, and if you self-publish, I don't think it is likely you can attract investors).
