Anyone know anything about POWERFUL BOOKS AND FILMS. They've offered me a contract that looks dicey. (A few other things about them are dicey as well.)
Due to time constraints, we cannot help you directly with issues. We do not charge fees of any kind for submissions and we rely on our writers to send us work which is professionally finished and ready for publication.

Our consultants live and work in Hollywood every day. We’ve worked on the development of projects such as Twilight and Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief [sic-Torgo], and read for such producers, representatives, and talent as MTV, Paramount, Sony, Disney, Relativity, Mosaic, Summit Entertainment, Atlas Entertainment, Prospect Park, Blake Snyder Productions, Untitled Entertainment, ICM, Abrams Artists, The Gersh Agency, William Morris, Gold Circle, Nicole Kidman, Madonna, Hilary Swank, Eddie Izzard, Ray Liotta, Ashton Kutcher, Justin Long, Ice Cube, and many more!
And they're running a referral scheme, where if you manage to persuade a friend to fork over thousands of dollars to these guys, you'll get a hundred bucks.
Perhaps if I enhance my buttocks (using my winnings from Mr Sant-Cassia's Lotto-winning tips to pay for surgery) I'll get a part in one of his films, or at least turbocharge my love life on social media...
And I'm still trying to work out why anyone would want to make their buttocks sizzle.
If anyone is interested, here's the story. I received a letter from them to the effect they had read one of my stories on Readwave and wanted to see more of my work.
"If you prefer, we also offer cash only, zero royalty options. (Need to explain how this works)"
God, I wish the italics were mine, but those are placeholder comments right there on the website that no one edited. Classic.
Reputable publishers are drowning in submissions and don't troll display sites looking forvictimsauthors.
