If your author email inbox (or spam folder) is filled with messages supposedly from big name authors (or agents and publishers), emails from randos asking to beta read your book, or out-of-the-blue invitations to feature your book in their book club, cold pitches for book marketing services...
They're scams.
With AI, author scams are through the roof, and they're getting more convincing by the day.
Rob Bignell, author of the Storytelling 101 Quick Read series, shares the results of his research into book marketing scams after his inbox began exploding with these emails last year.
Listen in to find out what the most common scams are right now, which scams are fleecing even the most suspicious authors, and how to reduce how many scam emails reach your inbox.
