Real Leanpub Email Addresses

Leanpub support will only contact you from @leanpub.com email addresses, specifically hello@leanpub.com, privacy@leanpub.com, or dpo@leanpub.com. (DPO stand for "Data Protection Officer".)

If either of Leanpub's co-founders, Peter Armstrong or Len Epp contact you, it will be from @leanpub.com or @ruboss.com email addresses. (Ruboss is the company that runs Leanpub.)

We Will Not Contact You From Other Email Addresses

We will NOT contact you from other email addresses, such as @gmail.com.

Warning Sign: An Email From Peter or Len That Feels Like AI

Leanpub co-founders Peter and Len like talking with customers and authors, and they do occasionally reach out spontaneously to authors, with special offers or marketing suggestions, for example.

When they do this, they write the emails themselves.

If you get an email from a strange-looking email address that appears to come from Peter or Len, but it sounds too much like it was written by AI, please forward the email to us at hello@leanpub.com.
