When Trusted Creatives Vanish Without a Trace, What Dark Secrets Are Hiding Beneath?
I received two emails from authors this week who hired legitimate freelancers (we did NOT refer the authors to those folks!) to perform services for them. The authors vetted them, determined they weren’t overseas, and that they had a website and a long list of satisfied clients. One was an author who ordered original illustrations. The other one was waiting for his book cover to finish being designed.
These situations differ entirely from the overseas publishing scam cartel we’ve been covering.
In the first case, the illustrator had sent the author one illustration at a time. The author would approve it, and then give the illustrator the green light to do the next one. The author had paid up front and the illustrator was clearly putting the work in. However, after the job was almost complete, the illustrator stopped responding to the author.
