Warning for authors: We have seen an increase in scams targeting authors through fake book clubs, podcasts, and media outlets. These approaches often begin with personalized and flattering emails but eventually lead to requests for payment for interviews, promotions, or administrative fees. Please be cautious of unsolicited offers and never share banking details or pay to participate in such opportunities. If you are unsure about an invitation or offer, please feel free to contact us.
