"I am new to this industry, and maybe one of you seasoned professionals can explain to me what Ms. Rivers has to gain through this scam."
It's a signing fee, usually. "Oh, dahling, I just LOVE your manuscript! Just sign on the dotted line and cut me a cheque for $500 so that we're both investing in your future and we can get the process started and make millions and squillions!!!"
Not that Tilly is necessarily doing that, I should point out. That's just the scam that almost inevitably emerges from adverts like this. She may just be entirely cluelessly dancing naked through Cloud Cuckoo Land on a field of dreams. Who can say?
