Misleading and Unethical Business Practices
I was contacted by Mr. Hugh with Seven Chapter Literary; providing his title as: Senior Segment Producer, with an offer to feature my book in a radio interview. The initial communication sounded like a genuine promotional opportunity, but after a phone call, to what I thought was to schedule the interview; they demanded $1500. upfront to "cover costs" for their network of stations and podcasts. This fee was never disclosed beforehand, which I consider deceptive and unethical. Authors, and creators deserve transparency and respect, not hidden charges and bait-and-switch tactics. I will be reporting this to the Better Business Bureau and consumer protection agencies, and I strongly advise others to avoid engaging with this company.
