I have filled my hole in January. Now booking for late February and beyond.

Because comic book letterers are artists too. #artvsartist2025

In 2025, I worked on around 15 projects. I've helped writers with their queries (some of them got agents, yay!). I've done partial edits, full edits, and line-edits, and written copy.

Darren is an old and dear friend to many writers and artists in this business, including myself. If you have the means, please consider five or ten bucks.

A while back I designed a badge for my indie-published works to clearly mark that I don't use AI. You're free to use either badge if you'd like for your stuff. 1/2

Heya, Star Trek writer alum David Gerrold is fundraising to pay his cancer bills. If you've got a few bucks to chip in, that'd be great. www.gofundme.com/f/david-gerr...

All of this. Be extremely wary of those words. They’re part of the reason I withdrew a story from a dream market this year.

The first paragraph alone made me sit up and say, "whoa" and I have worked in-house in publishing and seen many contracts.

Another GenX sucker punch. Rest in peace, Gil Gerard. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/g...

There never seems to be a good time for anything online lately so I'm just going to throw this out here now: I am looking for more work! I don't mean writing (though that too, sure!), but in the vein of the work I do for the Le Guin Foundation: organizational, practical, assistant-y, bookish work.

It hasn't even been twelve hours, but all three of us have been overwhelmed with requests from media for comment and I'm mostly writing this now so they'll leave me alone.

Hi all! We're hiring at DC for a sales manager in the book market! This role would be working very closely with me, so I'm happy to answer any questions. Let me know if you know anyone! careers.wbd.com/global/en/jo...

David needs folks to lend a hand. https://www.gofundme.com/f/david-gerrolds-health-and-leukemia-fundraiser?lang=en_GB&ts=1765731124&fbclid=IwdGRjcAOs_FtleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xNzM4NDc2NDI2NzAzNzAAAR6KKiZ2rx4-CeehknGhy0m7jAsLfQXTijNNB--x4dSYOZovtFMCTh0YuSl10w_aem_bDanHCEMaHX8JsZvYYD7Jg

OMG this thread! Brace yourself for a grimacing Christmas Gorn.

Now that we are finally getting new Duck comics again, I am praying that Larry Hama finally gets the opportunity to fulfill his lifelong dream.

Looking for an *L.A. based* artist who (against all odds) has time for a poster gig before the end of the year. It's for a science + art event. We can offer $500 for the gig. Dreadfully sorry about the timeline. Link a portfolio if you're interested, I'll delete this post when we found someone.

Get yourself of your favorite crazy cat person some kitty jewelry from my etsy shop, Bitten Beads! bittenbeads.etsy.com You wonderful customers are the reason my chronically ill self can make rent so thanks for sharing and thanks for shopping 🥹

Periodic reminder that I'm an inker for comics and I'm always on the look out for new projects! 👀✨ cavetoonist.com#hireme

Anyone out there dying to draw an Agatha Christie-style murder mystery story? 👀🔎

Um "when fake wombs become a thing"?! Have they not read BRAVE NEW WORLD, decanting babies from artificial wombs? Or, maybe they have.

Tip: Request 3 pictures from 3 different angles and all of them have to have a visible paper with specific text on it. If any of the damage changes even a LITTLE refuse the refund.

✨hi friends! guess who’s wrapping on a gig and is available for staffing, freelance, and development?!✨ me! please consider hiring me 🥲 (i also have experience writing for toys, podcasts, and comics! wow!)

Noooo! I feel your horror.

It came up in discussion at the convention so its annual reminder time the “artist” known as Menton3 ( real name Trey, he’s just pretentious ) cost me my US life savings, screwed over a lot of people & now thinks he’s a tattooist in Atlanta with zero training. If you see him, say a fistful of “hi”.

Americans are struggling to pay their bills and afford groceries, and we've got a President who is asleep at the wheel.

And speaking of the man from whom I learned tender masculinity, here we are the day before he died.

Oh, @colleendoran.bsky.social you vixen!

Due to requests, these six fan fav SuperBatober pieces are now available as limited-timed prints! Preorder only. Will ship early next year. ❤️🩵💛 mikemaihack.bigcartel.com

Congratulations Ms. Worsley! This is a wonderful post, especially the bit about the young fan who sent you her craft project -- a hand sewn, stuffed head of Tudor queen Katherine Howard.

Canadian publisher Kids Can Press "strongly condemns any denigrating, violent, or unauthorized use of Franklin's name or image" following Pete Hegseth's post:

Hey, so, I've been fired. Now that I'm unemployed like the other half of Bluesky, if anyone knows of work for a writer, reporter, or nonprofit grants manager, I'd be much obliged. You all know where to find me.

I bought a Mac so I could use Vellum. If you create ebooks, it will relieve your life of HUGE amounts of stress. If it’s on sale today, and you’ve got the cash and the inclination, GO GET IT. 😄

Just reminding everyone that it's #BlackFriday at #Ebooks Direct. Come take advantage of us! :) ebooks.direct/pages/our-20...

Does anyone know of an artist who has closable realistic ceramic cardboard boxes for sale? Something that looks exactly like a cardboard box but made of clay, has a top, and is actually for sale - not a long ago gallery show or whatever. Looking for specific leads pls, not "did u try etsy/google".

This is HUGE. Hard to overstate the importance to this event to the town and region. The international comics publishing will also take a hit but they have many other ways to promote and sell. The comics festival IS Angoulême.

It's time for the 2026 Comics Criticism Mini Grant! My family and I are awarding four $250 grants to active comics critics. The application is simple, just your name, email, and two recent clips. Deadline for submissions is January 1st. forms.gle/Cy8FtCcqVSWa...

So thrilled to see ALTER EGO out in paperback today! Eternally proud of this standalone sequel to SECRET IDENTITY, which was an immediate USA TODAY-bestseller, Anthony Award-nominee, and got rave reviews from all over. us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

If you're new to cooking or don't trust yourself to recognize a bad AI recipe, for the love on god, do not just use random recipes from random profiles. Find trustworthy sites and creators (Serious Eats, NYT Cooking, J. Kenji Lopez-Alt, Alton Brown) and search their archives for what you need.

If I opened up OC drawing commissions would there be any interest? I can also draw pets (in a cartoony style)! Things are slow and money is tight right now so I need something to do. 🫠

Design sheets for QWSP and Arion from this week's episode of "Aquaman: Yo-Ho-Hold Onto Your Hook!" written by @losthiskeysman.bsky.social and drawn by myself! In this one, I get to flex a lot of cartooning muscles that I don't usually get to in DC books. And there's a HUGE reveal at the end! 🐟🌊🤯

Golden Girls: Love is Golden is out TODAY! What would be REALLY cool is if you bought it at your local bookstore like, say, Bookstore Plus here in Lake Placid NY where I am for the holiday. Shopping small does wonders for your community as well as your SOUL. Now go forth and spread the love.

I have a food pantry in my front yard. It is used heavily. We can't keep it full & could use some help covering the cost of shelf-stable supplies. No one is using this pantry unless they need the help. We supply beans, oatmeal, onions, etc. It's not gourmet food. www.gofundme.com/f/help-keep-...

Comics artists who work with writers, I am doing a class for young comics writers and I would like to include some ANONYMOUS quotes from artists about things they hate getting in scripts. More "17-panel pages and cross dialogue" than "horses and bicycles". My DMS are open. SECRECY ASSURED.

About page rates: "More likely you had to work 10 hours or more per day to make that schedule: $6.25 per hour. Oh, and no benefits. No employer paying social security. Nothing. Take out that money as well, and you are working for something like $5 per hour." colleendoran.substack.com/p/about-thos...

Over on Whatever today I confirm that, indeed, all those emails authors and other writers are getting promising access to readers and book clubs and such are 100% scams, share all the scam emails I got just this morning, and note why they are all awful and bad: whatever.scalzi.com/2025/11/22/y...
