FREE Self Publishing book by Tom Ross!

general note: as this identical post appeared at about the same time on Writers.Net, I hope nobody's going to give out their "yes, I'm a hopeful writer & I'd love to receive spam!!" e-mail address to have a shot at getting an outdated book.

Makes me wonder, What's going on here?

mihc has participated in a number of threads, none of them are spam. While everyone should be thoughtful about sharing their email address I don't think one needs to worry that mihc is here specifically to troll for email addies.

And a number of our members post on both AW and Writers.net.

Caution is a fine thing. Research is good too. One can go to a person's profile and see all their posts - looking at mihc's quickly helped me form my opinion. Let's try to do some research before we make accusations - better yet, PM a mod and we'll look into it if you don't have the time or inclination.

Boy, you guys are suspicious.

It's part of our nature.

Why would you choose a public forum to advertise this book? If you were truly altruistic and wished to give the book away, you'd donate it to a worthy cause, say, like Goodwill.

I would like to note that I'd prefer mhic to not require a persons actual snail mail addy to be part of the contest - people should only give their main address out to someone they know and trust.
