Three signs that bookclub email you just got is probably a scam 🚩
1) Generic email address (often gmail)
2) The book club, award, or organization doesn’t exist when you look it up
3) The email is overly long, vague, and full of excessive praise (often AI-written)
The industry is seeing a massive rise in these scams targeting authors. If you receive one of these emails be sure to take a moment to read carefully, verify details, and trust your instincts before responding or clicking.
