Paperclips Magazine charges huge fees to writers
Paperclips Magazine charges huge fees to writers who buy ads and interviews, and its Philippines-based parent company, Legaia Books, aggressively solicits writers with misleading emails that promise exposure and book sales that Paperclips has no ability to deliver, since the primary audience for the magazine is the writers who buy space in it. In addition to all this paid content, Paperclips includes barely literate articles by magazine staff, for whom English is clearly a second language, and has used articles by outside writers without their permission. Paperclips' website is rife with plagiarism. Paperclips is not a real magazine or promotional service, but a cynical scheme to make money from unwary writers. For a fuller discussion, along with evidence that backs up all of the above, see the article on Paperclips Magazine from publishing industry watchdog group Writer Beware.
