I have received several inquiries about this “Portland LGBT+ Book Club,” so I want to clarify that I have nothing to do with it, and is most likely a scam.
Someone is using my name to recruit authors to participate in “Portland LGBT+ Book Club,” inviting their work to be featured. For a book to be featured, the authors are required to pay a $255-300 “support fee.” I do not coordinate any book club or have ever solicited such fees. I can’t say if there’s another person named Emi Koyama who happened to live in Portland who happened to be LGBT+ and an avid reader, but my guess is that this is just a scam. Please beware!
