UCLA illegally fired me as DEI Director. Why? B/c I posted truth about this bigoted piece of garbage after he died.

Impersonation scam alert! Despite the bogus Gmail address, I'm not sure of the provenance of this one (they also got the agency's name wrong). But I'd guess that multiple other agents'/agencies' identities have been appropriated. If you get something like this, forward it to me: beware@sfwa.org

Subject: Invitation to Submit Your Work for Acquisition Evaluation

Greetings from the MMQ&A Family,

I’m Rob McQuilkin, founding partner and literary agent at Massie & McQuilkin. For decades, our agency has championed exceptional voices in fiction and nonfiction—guiding authors from manuscript to marketplace with editorial insight and strategic advocacy.

We are now opening our doors to new submissions.

Unlike author‑services providers, our role is to identify strong creative works, review them carefully, provide feedback, and determine if they qualify for acquisition deals. These deals may include copyright buyouts, where rights are sold outright for a lump sum.

To evaluate your work’s legal ownership, market viability, financial transparency, and adaptation potential, we ask a few key questions:

Title of Work:
Author Name:
Phone Number:
Email Address:
Would you be open to selling the full copyright for a one‑time payment instead of continuing with royalties or shared ownership?:
Could you send us your manuscript in Microsoft Word format so we can begin evaluation?:
Is there a link to your published work that we can review for market positioning?:
Could you share links to your active marketing platforms to help us assess visibility and reach?:
Do you have copies of your U.S. Copyright Certificates as registered with the Copyright Office in Washington?:
Can you still track your book sales in real time and confirm that royalties are flowing through your current channels without interruption?:
Do you have a finalized screenplay or pilot script prepared for film/TV adaptation?:
Which company is publicly assisting you with your book’s publication and promotion, and are you still working with them now?:

Copyright buyouts typically range from $5,000 to $800,000+, depending on market value. They are common in books, publishing, film…

Anthropic copyright settlement update: Authors are reporting receiving notices like the one below, with a new claims deadline. This is presumably an effort to find rightsholders who have NOT filed a claim yet; if you've already filed a claim, you don't need to file a new one.

Dear Potential Class Member,

We write to inform you that we received claim(s) for the following book(s) in the Anthropic Copyright Settlement. Our records indicate that you may share a copyright interest in the following work(s):

[redacted]

You may have already received the Court-approved Class Notice that includes details about your rights and options under the Settlement, which is also posted on the settlement website at: www.AnthropicCopyrightSettlement.com.

The deadline to file a claim to receive a payment from the Settlement for the work(s) listed above is 70 days after the date of this Notice. If you have already submitted a claim for the work(s) listed above, you do not need to resubmit your claim.

If you have any questions, please contact us by phone at 1-877-206-2314 or by email at info@AnthropicCopyrightSettlement.com.

Sincerely,
Anthropic Copyright Settlement Administrator

Trying to keep your bills manageable this winter? As the cold drives energy costs up, Boston’s city-run Boston Community Choice Electricity program can help ease the burden. Basic and Standard plans cost less than Eversource, with no change to your service. Learn more at boston.gov/bcce.

“Bar chart comparing electricity rates per kilowatt-hour among three providers. Boston Community Choice Electricity Basic shows 0.13644 cents, Boston Community Choice Electricity Standard shows 0.14214 cents, and Eversource Basic Residential shows 0.15065 cents. The chart illustrates that Boston Community Choice Electricity’s rates are lower than Eversource. Header text reads ‘This winter, you can heat your home for less’ with explanatory text noting that while Eversource rates are increasing, Boston Community Choice Electricity’s plans cost less and use renewable energy.“

Private effort is completely inadequate to replace the $Billions of food aid being cut, but doing *something* matters...plus community building is the real solution & basis for all change.
