A note to writers on AI scams in publishing and fraudulent emails purporting to be from our staff, well-known authors, or literary festival staff being sent to writers.
Please note that any emails that are not sent from an arsenalpulp.com domain address are not legitimate.

“A note to writers: As with many other publishers, bogus AI-generated emails purporting to be from our staff are being sent to writers, offering publishing contracts or services in exchange for payment.
“Any emails that are not sent from an arsenal pulp [dot] com domain address are not legitimate.
“Similarly, writers we have published in the past have been receiving fraudulent emails purporting to be from well-known authors or literary festival staff, offering promotional support in exchange for payment.
“For your safety, do not respond to such emails or click on any links within them.
“For more information on AI scams in publishing, consult blogs like Writer Beware and industry associations like the Writers’ Union of Canada and the Alliance of Independent Authors.
