Bluntly, I can spend my days sorting “book club” spam, or I can write books. One pays me money. The otherff does not. So until further notice, I’m not entertaining book club invitations from anyone, and I likely won’t respond to your invitation at all. I’m sorry but this is the reality of the moment.

Scalzi. Great author. Great human.
How are scammers turning book club invites into money?
I’m guessing it’s a modification of a scam that’s been around podcasts and even (sometimes fake) conferences. Invite someone, then “oh hey you need to pay X for Y” or maybe asking for some donation to support. Now they’re just automated attempts to grab cash
