Scam Alert: A self-publishing company called Turner Book Writers is attempting to mimic Turner Publishing Company and deceive authors by using Turner's titles and reputation to request money from authors to publish manuscripts. Turner Publishing Company is a traditional publishing company, meaning we provide an advance to authors for new titles and will never request money from authors to publish their books.
