Author beware--and we've heard the same thing. At least one person is using the Forest Avenue name to ask for "partnership or collaboration." We would never solicit payment from authors. Plus we are closed to subs.

Unsolicited Press@unsolicitedpress.bsky.social · last yr.

Someone is using our business name to "reach out" to authors...offering publication for a cost. This is not us. We do not charge to be published. You should only receive emails from handles that end with at unsolicitedpress dot com. Keep that in mind.
