Possibly send you a “certified bank check” X amount over the agreed 25k. An email is sent saying we overpaid you. and ask for a portion of it back minus a little something extra for your troubles. By the time the certified check is discovered to be fake you lost X amount.

An illustrator alerted me to the attached email. Someone is impersonating me! Offering #kidlit illustrators fake deals!

This is not me! The deal-structure/schedule is insane. The deadline is quite friendly?! 10 picture books in 3 years?!

Please let me know if you receive an email like this!

Would not in anyway blame you for a pitch that failed.

So… zombie apocalypse with mermaids who save humanity might be the next thing? Asking for a friend. 🙂

One of the things I truly enjoy about your podcast is you talk often about the reality on how HARD it is to brake in. Thank You both!
