A man who dreams of becoming a writer was overjoyed when he was contacted by an agent saying they had offers that would see his work in print - until it lost him his life savings worth almost £13,000. Dave Gregson, from West Yorkshire, is unable to work because he is the primary carer for his elderly parents. So in his free time, he writes short stories and children's books, some of which have been published online.
When a literary agent contacted him he was over the moon. He had a phone call from a man introducing himself as 'Bruce' at a company called 'Great Writers Media'. 'Bruce' told him his colleagues loved his books, a children's fairytale, and a set of short stories, some of which he'd been told by his father, and sent over contracts for him to sign.
Bruce also told him that the books had been approved by the company's editorial board and recommended for publishing on multiple outlets. Trending Dave said: "I have enjoyed writing for many years, and growing up I always had a vivid imagination."As weeks went on, Dave received emails from Great Writers Media, explaining that his books were selling well but that he needed to contribute towards the costs of book fairs, marketing, and editing.
