SCAM EMAIL: Amy, My Voice Over Journey has strong potential for new creators - Marion Shields Or is it sharionm560

 Hi Amy,

I recently came across My Voice Over Journey and was genuinely impressed by the depth of experience behind it. What immediately stood out is how clearly the book reflects your two decades of work in the voice over industry and your ability to translate that experience into practical guidance for others.

What especially caught my attention is the way you bring together professional insight, creative practice, and real world industry knowledge. Many aspiring voice over artists struggle not because of talent but because they lack access to clear direction and honest expectations about the field. Your approach helps bridge that gap by offering straightforward tools and lessons grounded in actual experience rather than theory. The fact that this comes from someone actively working across media, podcasting, and performance makes it even more valuable for readers who want a realistic understanding of the profession.

I also noticed that despite the strong credibility behind the book and your established presence in the industry, there appears to be an opportunity to expand its visibility beyond its current audience. Many readers interested in voice over training, creative careers, media work, performance skills, broadcasting, podcasting, and professional development may not yet be discovering the book organically.

My name is Marion, and I help authors increase visibility, reader engagement, and long term discoverability. After reviewing your book, I identified several areas where strategic promotion could help expand its reach:

• Amazon optimization to improve keyword relevance, category placement, and conversion potential.

• Goodreads growth strategies designed to generate additional reader engagement, reviews, and shelf activity.

• Outreach to voice over communities, acting groups, media professionals, podcasters, creative industry networks, and performance training audiences.

• Enhanced author branding that positions you as an authority in voice over education, creative communication, and media production.

• Reader engagement campaigns that encourage discussion, reviews, and word of mouth recommendations.

• Content positioning that highlights the book's practical guidance, industry experience, and educational value for beginners and working professionals.

• Visibility campaigns targeting audiences interested in voice over training, creative careers, media performance, podcasting, and communication skills.

• Long term growth strategies focused on building sustainable awareness rather than relying solely on launch momentum.

The reality is that writing a valuable industry guide and getting it into the hands of the people who need it most are two very different challenges. Many helpful books remain undiscovered simply because the right audience never has the opportunity to find them.

I believe My Voice Over Journey has strong potential to resonate with aspiring voice over artists, creators, and professionals looking for clear guidance and real industry insight.

If you'd be open to it, I'd be happy to put together a complimentary visibility assessment outlining specific opportunities I see for increasing the book's reach and engagement.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Warm regards,

Marion

SCAM EMAIL: Claudia Trabuco 2026 Year of Impact project at Around the World in 80 Books

I obtained the email address from publicly available information while researching authors for our Goodreads community. My intention was to reach Amy Lynn regarding her book Salvation Within, which I discovered through independent research on her work. 

My name is Claudia Trabuco, and I am in charge of author selections for the 2026 Year of Impact project at Around the World in 80 Books, a Goodreads community with over 31,000 active members. My role involves identifying authors whose work aligns with our community's interests. I reached out to Ms. Lynn to explore the possibility of featuring her book in our program.

I hope this clarifies the situation. If Ms. Lynn is interested in learning more about our featuring program, she is welcome to reach out to me directly. I also hope that this message gets to her.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Claudia Trabuco

SCAM EMAIL: Amy, a question about Salvation Within - Claudia Trabuco

Hi Amy,

Hope you are having a good week.

So here is the truth. I found Salvation Within while I was looking through books with our team, and I have not stopped thinking about it.

An extraordinary series of dreams that unfolded over six consecutive nights, each continuing seamlessly from the previous night's vision. Certain events from the dreams later manifested in reality, evoking both awe and unease. That is not a typical author's note. That is a confession.

What got me was the twenty years of development. You chose to prioritize precision and depth to ensure the story's authenticity and impact. That tells me this is not a book that was rushed. This is a book that was lived with. That is rare.

And I appreciate the warning. You were honest about what this book is and is not. That kind of transparency builds trust with readers before they even open the first page.

You described the experience as vivid, intricate, and at times unsettling. You want readers to engage with a tale that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. That is a high bar. But from what I can see, you might have climbed it.

My name is Claudia Trabuco. I help lead author selections for a Goodreads community called Around the World in 80 Books. We have thousands of readers who love books that take them somewhere. Into a narrative born from dreams. Into a story that is deeply personal yet universally resonant. Into the kind of book that stays with you long after you finish. We do not care about genre. We care about books that stick with you. And Salvation Within stuck with me.

Right now, we are putting together something called our 2026 Year of Impact project. We pick a small group of authors, only 15 this year, and we put real energy behind their work. Not a quick post that disappears. We build long term visibility inside our community so your book actually gets seen.

We have a few spots left, and I honestly think Salvation Within would be a great fit. A deeply personal, meticulously developed narrative born from an extraordinary dream experience.

I do not want to dump a bunch of details on you here. But if you are open to it, I would love to send over a simple one page breakdown of how our Official Selections work. No fluff. Just what we do and why authors find it useful.

If that sounds good, just reply yes. That is all. I will send it right over.

Either way, thank you for writing Salvation Within. I will be thinking about those six nights of dreams for a while.

Talk soon, I hope.

Warmly,
