Security
At PR by the Book, we’re committed to maintaining a secure environment for our clients, partners, and website visitors. We continually monitor our systems and communications to help protect against fraud, unauthorized access, and other security threats.
While no business can eliminate every risk, we take security seriously and encourage our community to remain vigilant when communicating online.
Secure Communications
Official communications from PR by the Book are sent only from email addresses ending in @prbythebook.com.
If you receive a message claiming to be from PR by the Book that originates from another email domain or requests sensitive information in an unusual way, we encourage you to verify its authenticity before responding.
Fraud Prevention
We are aware that scammers sometimes impersonate legitimate businesses, including companies in the publishing industry. These bad actors may use fake email addresses, AI-generated messages, spoofed identities, or fraudulent websites to appear credible and create a false sense of urgency or opportunity.
To help protect yourself:
- Verify the sender’s email address before responding.
- Be cautious of unexpected requests for payments or confidential information.
- Avoid clicking links or downloading attachments from suspicious emails.
- Contact us directly using the contact information on our website if you have questions about a communication.
We’ve also seen an increase in unsolicited emails targeting authors with offers for media interviews, podcast appearances, television or radio features, book reviews, marketing services, and other promotional opportunities. While some of these offers may be legitimate, many are not.
To help authors distinguish genuine opportunities from scams, we’ve created a guide outlining common red flags, including signs that an email may be AI-generated or part of a fraudulent scheme. We encourage all authors to read Unsolicited Emails? Watch for These Red Flags to learn what to watch for before responding to unexpected outreach.
Payment Verification
If you receive unexpected payment instructions or a request to change payment methods, please verify the request directly with our team before taking action.
We encourage clients to contact us through our published phone number or website if anything seems unusual.
Website Security
Our website uses secure, encrypted connections to help protect information transmitted between your browser and our website.
We also work with trusted service providers and routinely review our security practices to help maintain a safe online experience.
