Be Upfront About Being A Business

With my romance writing business,
I receive a gazillion offers
a day
from folks
to proofread, to promote,
to craft teasers for me,
etc.

The issue is…
I never know
if these are business owners
or enthusiastic fans.

I tend not to involve
enthusiastic fans
in the business side
of romance writing.

I will, of course,
thank them
for any ‘help’ they give me
but I won’t take them up
on offers.

And since I don’t know
if these offers
are from businesses or fans,
I say
‘no, thank you’
to all of them.

Be upfront
about being a business.
