Data Protection and Staying Safe as an Author, with special guest Liz McLaughlin.
As writers, we are often targeted by scams - from fake publishing services to phishing attempts to fraudulent marketing opportunities.
In this episode, we invite Liz McLaughlin to help us learn how to recognize and avoid the scams. Plus, in a world of technology meltdowns (viruses, getting water on your laptop anyone like Lainey!), we talk about how to keep copies of our work safe.
Liz has spent years supporting people through moments of stress, vulnerability, and uncertainty working as an information technology professional. With a background in psychology and social work, she brings a grounded, compassionate understanding of how emotions influence decision-making—and how scammers expertly exploit those moments.
