Also, if you give a project to to a freelancer and then decide to “UN-give” that project, tell them. Also, also… DON’T DO THAT.

An editor friend once asked if I had any advice for dealing with writers and artists, and my one request was that if they ever ask someone for a pitch or art samples and they decide not to move forward with the project or with them, to just let them know.

Omg. It's the worst to check in with the project and be told "we're just waiting on a few things" then see it hit shelves later with someone else

yeah,
