Anonymous? I think not. David Wright Responds

Two "comments" made yesterday to this blog , both of which you'll be interested in.

"Anonymous" wrote the following:

I will be happy to send you many many books we have published lately. Just let me know and I will drop them in the mail. No problem. As a matter of fact, research through Amazon.com by publisher and you will see several bodies of work we have completed lately. You have way too much time on your hands. . .you must be really empty on the inside. I will keep you in my prayers.

Apparently, Mr. Wright didn't read the post carefully (see below). I didn't question whether his books were being published. I stated that he takes money from people who expect to be included in his books, then doesn't include them.

What I didn't mention, though true, is the fact that I hear from them when they try to get their money back, and don't. Which, of course, was my own experience. Even the Better Business Bureau reflects their poor track record.

As for too much time on my hands? Well, no.... in fact, I feel as if I am helping others by these posts. I am saving them grief and money. There is no greater satisfaction in life than helping others, so my time on this blog is very well spent, even if I have much to do in the rest of my work.

Comment #2 came from Mitch, and you can read it here. Thanks for your note, Mitch! So very happy to prove the point that yes, I am helping others.

A New Year, More Speakers and Authors Will Pay

I use "International Speakers Network" as a google news alert, and noticed right about the first of the year that ISN popped up more and more in the news. Seems David Wright has published another one of his books where he promises people he will include them along with some of the chicken soup book people, and others, in those books.

I hear sometimes from people who paid for inclusion, and woops! the publisher forgot to include them! They are told their information will be included the next time around...

Except that it doesn't get included.

Don't get caught. Read more on this blog about the International Speakers Network, book a speaker, and all the other company names these people work under.

Then save your money.
