I’m not a writer but think I would want some more information before I replied,

probably but that is up to the people involved. I suspect it is a genuine enquiry as it is where the book thread etc is. But I am sure not everything is suspicious these days. However.

If you are a published writer and decide to reply to the query, please take care what you divulge in an initial post.

I am sure most published writers are sensible enough to know this.

In October, the same person wanted contact with bloggers. That request went unanswered - unless by PM:

He's been a GR member for 20 years, with many posts to his name - not that that necessarily means anything!

I suspect he disn't get a reply to the bloggers request because we have no bloggers on here. However, we are not in a position to know if any of the people who read but don't post will have found a way to contact him.
