That makes a reasonable amount of sense. I'll just stop acting like a jackass and email it back. Thanks!

You need to get an EIN (Employer ID Number). It'll help keep your SSN secure.

Sorry, do you mean I should get one because I should file as self-employed, or ask for the publisher's EIN?

It's a number the IRS issues for free. It's just another identification number, and if you're doing your business freelance over the internet, it'll protect your SSN.
