A comic writer asking for advice because they have several projects under their belt but still can't get replies from editors, even when referred by other creators. I get messages like this every week from writers and artists, and I'm not even an editor, which shows how widespread it is.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

If you are coming to New York for #nycc and have extra 🕰️, I BEG you to see the "Art of Manga" show at @brooklynmuseum.org. If you are a comics/manga fan, seeing Takahashi, Taniguchi and Oda originals in person will be life changing. If you still don't quite "get" manga it will explain everything.

Our public libraries are something we should be incredibly proud of and continue to invest in. I wouldn’t be the writer I am today without the support they gave and continue to give to young writers groups. We need third spaces more than ever and libraries are just that for so many people.

So apropos of nothing in particular, let’s talk about media tie-in novel pay vs. original work pay, shall we? Let’s say you write a novel. It’s set in your own world, your own characters, and titled The Original. You get a book deal! Look at you go!

Hey there! Now that Fixation's off into the world, I am looking for work for 2027-2028! I've got a few more tarot and oracle decks incoming, but I'm wide open for comics work right now. If any editors are looking for IP work for hire or original pitches, hit me up. www.amythunderjam.com/comics

The 1:10 ratio cover for Fixation #1 by Lisa Sterle. Depicts a neon television set with a bloody handprint covering a steamy scene from the hit supernatural romance series Blood Mountain. Entertainment console has chips, action figures, and additional dvd cases on it.

The cover of Abuzz by Stelladia. Largely blue background meant to evoke a prom dance, with the cast of four high school students standing beneath bouquets of bee-shaped balloons. They are all wearing domino masks, as Beatriz and Hero gossip, Ben tries to show Claudio his phone, and Claudio and Hero shyly reach for each other's fingertips.

Cover for Flash Gordon Quarterly #6, with art by Michael Sta. Maria. Depicts Flash Gordon in a space suit with a domed helmet, raising his blaster. Behind him, a shark man emerges from a sandstorm to attack.

The cover of the Wednesday Official Oracle Deck, art by Leilani Bustamante. It depicts Jenna Ortega as Wednesday against a black starry background, with black dahlia flowers around her. The box cover has purple foil accents.
