Fraud Alert

A note for writers: AI-enabled scammers are contacting authors while posing as staff of publishers or literary agencies, offering bogus publishing contracts or services in exchange for payment. Genuine correspondence from our team always comes from an @hpdm.ca or @douglas-mcintyre.com email address, so please check the full address and not just the sender's name. If you receive something that feels suspicious, especially an unsolicited message, please don't reply or send money. Contact us directly at info@hpdm.ca and we'll be glad to confirm whether it's legitimate.
