Whether you've written a book or have announced plans to do so, one thing is becoming increasingly likely: bad actors will target you. Depending on your reach, expect quite a few unsolicited emails from folks offering their—er—services. 

The [Racket Publishing Author Spam Assessment Tool](https://www.racketpublishing.com/blog/author-spam-assessment-tool/) provides assistance to your inbox. It does not, however, help you evaluate LinkedIn profiles. 

I decided to change that.

## The Solution

Authors looking to separate the wheat from the chaff on the increasingly spammy professional social network will benefit from The Racket Publishing LinkedIn Profile Assessor. Here's a quick overview of how it works. 

I saved my LinkedIn profile as a PDF and uploaded it. The second image displays its results. Turns out that I'm not a scammer or spammer. (Phew. I wasn't sure.)

Technically, you can use it on any LinkedIn profile. It works best, however, for people who have written a book or plan to do so for one simple reason: I trained the tool on author-related connection requests. I'm talking about sketchy people hawking their book promotion and marketing services.
