Hello,
I have an e-mail from 25 & Y Publishing, offering me an “advanced review copy of a Neil Gaiman headlined anthology” edited by you.
The published doesn’t turn up when Googled… And I’m not keen to download from an unknown source, regardless of tempting authors and charitable purpose.
Is this for real? Please let me know!
Thanks, Amy
