Um... Book Writers?

I am confused by the public request for book writers. I didn't think books are accepted content here.

The request is pretty suspect. The comment "I need no money upfront" (emphasis added) is a classic red flag.

I saw that request too. I don't have a book, but I wonder how this fits into the system of CC. Ed's not going to review a whole book, so I presume you would need to deal with the buyer off the CC system. That would violate the rules here.

I think that post must have slipped through the screening process. It doesn't sound legit to me.

There is another possible explanation. I thought it was odd and read on to the number of words required, which is 1000. So I thought it might be for an article about a new publisher looking for authors. I didn't decide to respond though, as it's not at all clear.
