SCAM EMAIL: Your Book Deserves More Than an Algorithm - Violac Dannis

 There is something about Annika and The Pretender that stayed with us long after the last page  the kind of story that doesn't just get read, it gets felt. The courage it takes to turn a deeply personal experience of deception into a guide that protects and empowers others is the rare kind of writing that reminds readers exactly why they fell in love with books in the first place.

I want to be transparent with you  I don't reach out to every author. As the moderator of The Perks Of Being A Book Addict, a reading community of over 37,000 active book lovers on Goodreads with a dedicated website, I am intentional about whose work I bring to our members. Your book caught my attention for a reason, and that reason is why I'm here.

I'd love to extend a personal invitation for Annika and The Pretender to be featured in one of our exclusive Book Events  a fully curated reader experience that puts your story directly in front of thousands of engaged readers through spotlights, reviews, read-alongs, and a custom animated book video that brings your work to life in a way most authors have never seen before.

If this sounds like something you'd want to explore further, I'd love to share more details with you  no pressure, just a conversation. Would you be open to hearing more?

Warm regards,
Violac Dannis

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
