I'm in a position to help staff/recommend talent for a few upcoming OGNS/comics (PAID WORK!), and while I've got a decent rolodex, I'd love to add some new names to it.

1. I am not the writer on these - just find myself in the right place to help get some folks the work.
2. Given the state of...all the bullshit...it would be great to push more Black creators, LGBTQ+ creators, and creators left unemployed by pencils down policies/quarantine.

3. Obviously, you gotta be able to hit a deadline, but newer, up-and-coming, and even previously-unpublished talent is totally welcome. Encouraged, even. A few of these gigs are anthologies or single-chapters, the perfect thing to cut your teeth on.
4. Style on all of these is gonna be ALL OVER THE PLACE, so don't be afraid to drop your samples, even if you think you and I have different tastes! It's all about whoever's a good fit for some specific books, and I'll be looking at a huge variety of genres/tones.
5. Even if you don't end up on one of these specific books, I'm making a point of compiling these creators into a spreadsheet with names, credits, and a general style description to pass onto publisher(s), and maintain a stable of new talent to reach out to. It can't hurt!
6. Last point - no matter where you're at in your career, specifically, if you think you might be ready for sequential comics work, don't be afraid to drop your stuff. I want to keep an eye on folks who I can recommend across the board, even months down the line. Shoot your shot!
Oh man this fucking blew up. Apologies if I don't get a chance to reply to every tweet directly, but I am absolutely going through every name and portfolio, rest assured!
Thank you all for your interest and spreading the word.

Damn it I'm so fucking hype on all of you. Seriously. This thread is flooded with incredible talent, and I really hope editors from all over the industry are poking their heads in. Some seriously powerful creative teams are gonna get formed today!
