so, book twitter. an aspiring writer friend was today offered a contract by a "hybrid" publisher asking for $2500 up front for publishing costs and specifying this amount had to be made by Venmo "for security and record-keeping's sake". on a scale of bad to BAD, how bad is this?

If the friend is ever ready to name and shame, I know they will get a lot of support, because that is BAD

Seriously name and shame. This won't get them blacklisted anywhere or give them a bad rep in the industry. These kinds of predatory "publishers" are not part of the section of publishing your friend needs to be at
