It is illegal to request a picture from a job/gig candidate. Having said that, there are a couple of ads requesting pictures that quite frankly don’t feel kosher to me. Anyone who wants a picture from a ghostwriter because, oh, you’ll have to acocmpany this person, etc., etc. is nonsense. If a publisher were truly interested in getting a good ghostwriter, the first concern is not looks and, even if it were a concern of the associate, anyone could be eliminated later. But sounds phony to me. Also ad that wants a copy editor but requests a picture? Things are pretty bad these days, and that means there are plenty of scams out there.

One more thing. The Internet has brought practices out of the woodwork that in my day we knew were not honest or ethical (if not downright illegal). One of these is writing academic papers for someone. Companies have even been set up with a stable of writers to do papers for students. If anyone believes because a company was formed that this practice is okay, it isn’t! Good professors know their students and catch this sort of thing (and in fact I used to), but it is an unsavory business, and even if you need money, you should consider that it is not the right thing to do. People who want academic degrees need to earn them. I have offered to teach people how to research and write a paper. But I will not write someone’s paper; I will edit it.
