Recently, we learned that scam emails from individuals posing as Kentucky Book Festival & Kentucky Humanities staff have been sent to authors, exhibitors, and vendors in our community, and we want to make you aware.

All KBF email addresses end in @kyhumanities.org or @uky.edu. We do not conduct official KBF business with Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, or other platform accounts. Please do not respond to any email you receive that seems suspicious in any way, and do not click on any links therein. Please report them as phishing or spam to your email service and the respective platform.
