(Another) Simon & Schuster impersonation scam. Check out the extra-bogus email address

Dear Author,
February is a month defined by connection, passion, and storytelling that stays with us long after the final page and at Simon & Schuster LLC, that’s exactly the kind of work we’re seeking right now.
For more than a century, Simon & Schuster has partnered with writers who dare to move readers, challenge perspectives, and shape culture. From unforgettable fiction to groundbreaking nonfiction, we believe that the most powerful stories begin with a distinct voice and we’re always excited to discover new ones.
As we look ahead to our upcoming publishing seasons, our editorial team is actively inviting submissions and conversations with authors who are crafting compelling narratives, fresh ideas, and books with heart, intelligence, and impact. Whether you’re an emerging writer with a bold debut or an established author exploring a new direction, we’d love to learn more about your work.
What sets Simon & Schuster apart is our deeply collaborative approach. Our authors benefit from:
• Dedicated editorial guidance from industry-leading professionals
• Strategic marketing and publicity support tailored to each book
• Global distribution and long-term career development
• A publishing partner who believes in nurturing stories not rushing them
This February, we’re celebrating the stories that make readers fall in love with characters, with ideas, and with the written word itself. If you have a manuscript or proposal you believe deserves thoughtful consideration from a publisher who truly values authorship, we invite you to connect with us.
We would be delighted to review your work and explore the possibility of building something meaningful together.
Warm regards,
The Editorial & Acquisitions Team

#Booksky, it’s taken me WAY too long to start reading @anthonyryan.bsky.social. Just finished The Pariah, and it’s a masterclass in narrative voice, a character-driven novel in the purest of terms that doesn’t forget to be exciting and fun to read. Looking forward to diving into his back catalogue!
