A year ago, this message might have impressed me. It refers to one of my books, understands its genre and identifies a genuine need: more exposure and more readers. Today, I receive several like it \u2013&amp;nbsp;every day. I have trained my mailbox to classify them as spam. The services offered are legitimate. Amazon optimisation, Goodreads promotion, email campaigns and book-club outreach may all have value. What undermines the message is the claim that the sender has carefully identified my book as especially suitable for his services. The language feels personal, but the approach is obviously AI-generated and repeated at scale.
