Spam or not?

Just saw this in my email spam folder:
Your Frozen in Time May Be Eligible for Pulitzer Prize Consideration
I am reaching out to propose a partnership to help your book gain the recognition it deserves.
The annual Pulitzer Prizes submission process is currently open for submissions.
And the email continues….

Frozen in Time is actually the name of one of my last books I have published. Sure I’d love to be considered for a Pulitzer Prize but it seems too good to be true for it to potentially be eligible for consideration. Also, while I do not think badly of my book I do not believe my book is worthy of that. Part of me thinks perhaps this is a scam, especially because the email address is Gmail.

I would certainly consider that spam, Besides I looked there is another book with the same title by someone called Mitchell Zuckoff so who knows what they are talking about,

You know your book better than us and to consider it a spam is a wise thing to do.

Yep that's most deffently a pice of spam. If you really were eleigable for that, you'd know it because you'd be on the best seller list, and your publisher would reach out not some rando gmail account.

Well, my book is self-published. And it’s definitely not on a bestseller list.

It doesn't sound like spam
Your book has that title
Reply and find out what it is about and what is needed
What have you got to lose
Someone actually maybe thinks it's a good book

I think my book is good but potentially being Pulitzer Prize consideration worthy? Not sure about that.
