Writer friends! The AI-generated email scams targeting authors are getting more sophisticated. I got one today w/ a real editor's name on it, which could be very convincing to someone who doesn't know how actual editors communicate, so I annotated it to highlight red flags. Spread the word, ok?

This Wed, 7-8pm EST, editor Paula Wiseman is giving a workshop on the importance of picture books and how to sell them: "How do you write books that are relevant, interesting and that matter to readers and what do editors look for in picture books?" #kidlit www.eventbrite.com/e/rs-present...
#PBParty entry "Roommatezzz" is hilarious and so voicey. Love all the little fly names, especially Sebastian-Erickson 🤣

AUTHORS! Do not, without the explicit permission of an illustrator, upload the art from your book into any AI system to create content like trailers for your book. I cannot believe this needs to be said AND HERE WE ARE.
So moved by #PBParty entry "Meka & Yari". My heart aches after reading the sample, and what an important story to tell. Can't wait to read this full story one day!
