As an author, I receive an endless slew of emails and DMs from scammy ‘book marketers’. My favourites are the ones that come from big name authors.

Every now and then, I like to have a little fun with them.

I went back and forth with (not the real) Caro De Robertis until they started talking about themself in the third person.

I told a (fake) famous author I was so glad she contacted me because I really hated her latest book. And could she please recommend a book marketer who’s responsible for selling millions of copies of something so awful?

Weirdly, she didn’t respond.
