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!

I've been going to coffeehouse writer meet ups at @mystgalaxybooks.bsky.social , and I always leave them so inspired and pumped to keep working :)
I really enjoy the opportunity to sit IRL with people who are industry veterans and newbies, and have an open dialogue with them. It's very inspiring!
