We’ve been made aware of a scam targeting authors on Goodreads. Some individuals are sending emails impersonating moderators or pretending to be “community stewards” offering to shortlist books for discussions or features in exchange for payment. This is happening in multiple groups across Goodreads.
Please be advised that we will never request money or compensation of any kind in return for featuring, promoting, or selecting books for group discussions.
Please also note that we communicate with members only through Goodreads via official Group posts and broadcast messages. We do not contact authors or members directly via email.
If you receive such a message, do not respond or send payment. We recommend reporting the email as spam and contacting us directly through the group to verify any suspicious communication.
Additionally, any form of promotion is permitted only within designated promotional folders.
