Cut the Line - is this offer for your book bait?

A bait check for unsolicited offers to writers. Paste a message that claims to come from a book club, a reviewer, a literary agent, a publisher, a film or TV company, an award or a marketing service, add the sender's address, and say who wrote first and whether you already paid. Free in the browser: the message as a letter with every bait phrase marked, a tackle tray of seven kinds of bait (money asked of you, flattery, a rush, big-stage promises, off-channel or hush requests, a generic greeting, a free-mail sender), the money current (toward you or away from you) and a verdict by a fixed rule (cut the line, check the hook first, no hook in sight). One metered reply explains each bait with a word-for-word quote, says which way the money flows and how a genuine offer of that kind usually works, gives three checks to do on your own, drafts a reply you could send and, if you already paid, what to do now. The page re-checks every reply. Built on @claude-office-skills/suspicious-email-analyzer.
