It’s been FAR too long but I’ve been busy with editorial client work and some new writing projects that will be revealed soon!
This week is New York Comic Con and tons of friends and colleagues are arriving this week for the first time in years! It should be a really great time and I’m looking forward to the reunions!
I have two signings with my crew at Comixology Originals as detailed in this STUNNING graphic I made with the help of Canva.
Comixology made super cute Liebestrasse promotion cards that are modeled after Magic: The Gathering! Come find me and get a card! (I promise I will beg for extras for all my co-creators on this book who might be reading this ❤️).
In September, I participated in Library Card Sign-up Month with ALA’s Graphic Novel Round Table to promote libraries around the country!
Jersey City Free Public Library retweeted me and I was fairly psyched. I’m very lucky to live near the Main Branch and it’s absolutely gorgeous inside.
I also learned that there are 15 copies of Liebestrasse in circulation in the New York Public Library system!!!! That’s absolutely mind-blowing.
If you’re a library card holder and want to help us out, you can request Liebestrasse as an acquisition purchase. Like the Chicago Public Library here: https://www.chipublib.org/suggest-a-purchase/
It’s really helpful for us to get into the hands of readers that might not be regular comic book store customers AND we’ve got really lofty goals in terms of educational outreach and our libraries are such a key component of those connections.
If you need help finding your library’s acquisition page, you can definitely email/message/text me and I’ll gladly do the research! Every copy counts in large amounts!
Other Ways You Can Help!
Did you order LIEBESTASSE through Amazon? Leaving a review helps boost our profile in the chaos of book-selling online.
You can also post pics on social media! Tag the entire creative team! We love it and will repost you! (If I’ve missed any of your posts, please resend! I’ve noticed that my notifications on Instagram are slightly buggy!)
Tell your reading group about us! My offer to join via video conference still stands!
I am very grateful for all your help thus far and I apologize for asking even more! But this is the dream!!!
EDITORIAL CLIENT WORK
I want to talk more about all the wonderful projects I edit for other creators within this newsletter. A great place to start is the BLUE BOOK series by James Tynion IV, Michael Avon Oeming, and Aditya Bidikar.
At the 24:15 minute mark during his AMA last week, Michael shares his inks for BLUE BOOK and talks through his work process. It’s wonderful and I highly recommend you watch it!
His own newsletter can be found here!
And if you’ve read this far, I will tease that BIG NEWS regarding BLUE BOOK in print is pending very soon!!! 🛸
