Author Awareness has been expanded and reorganized into two focused sections, so you can go straight to what applies to you.

Rights & AI

Why your work is a target, cover and text harvesting, "free" service offers, and what is happening to authors' work as AI training data.

Reaching Readers

Engagement bait, link harvesting, fake agent and publisher outreach, and look-alike marketplace listings.

Everything that was here is still here. Bookmarks to this page will keep working.
