Dancers, why did you start dancing? What made you want to "strip"? Want to see your personal story in print? Well, if you can write between 5 to 10 pages. and if you have some drama, comedy, tragedy, or message story to tell then send it in to attiremag@yahoo.com We are publishing a compilation book answering the age old question of "why do they do it?".We are accepting different types of stories from different types of people. Don’t be afraid to tell it all. You can remain anonymous or not. Please send it in Rich Text Format, MSWord. Single spaced with title and phone number or email address to reach you if your story makes it in the book. We will not send back any submissions. There is also a $10.00 submission and editing fee once your story has been chosen. No other hidden fees or scams. Once the book is complete you will be sent one copy for yourself. We may also follow up with a podcast, or streaming video interview and behind the scenes footage of some of the stories please indicate if you would be interested in giving a live interview, or photo or video.

I’m almost at a loss. Almost.
How many elements of assery can we find in the above paragraphs? Well, let’s take a look, shall we? Our friend here is compiling a book about exotic dancers. He’s not doing any of the actual writing, instead, he’s looking for strippers to tell their story. For no pay. Of course if the book sells, he’s going to earn some coin. But that’s not the worst of it.
I’d like to direct your attention, if I may, to the line about the $10.00 submission and editing fee. Hello? You want people to work for free AND pay a $10 submission and editing fee? PLUS he wants the same girls to submit to interviews for podcasts and videos? How much will they have to pay to be a part of that?
I like how he says there are no other hidden fees or scams like it’s some great deal. At least he admits it’s a scam.
This guy takes ass to new levels.
As a pro writer (pro smut writer I should say) this ad is insanely insulting. Writing them right now to read them the riot act …
Write our book for us, PAY us for the privilege of doing our work for us, and we’ll give you “one copy for yourself.” Oh, and if you pay us 10 bucks and do our work for us, we may also allow you to give us some dirty videos of yourselves.
Wow, who WOULDN’T jump at this deal? Only one thing would make this better: allowing the girls to “audition” their oral sex skills in order to compete for the cover shot. SCORE!
What you may be forgetting is the fabulous promotional opportunity being offered to these girls. Imagine how much more business they will get as strippers who are also published authors. Heck, if they can get the publisher rate, they could even give a copy of the book away as a premium for their champaign room dances. “For fifty dollars, you also get a signed copy of my book!”
May I just add that I love the tags on the first trackback post?
