Bad News

A few months ago I pitched a pulp graphic novel project to one of my favorite indy publishers back in the USA, and just heard back from them this morning... unfortunately, their answer was “no thanks.”

I’m kinda bummed, to say the least. But hey, that's how it goes. Here are some pages from the submission, just in case anyone out there was wondering what it looked like:


I’m going to do some necessary fine-tuning on the book and will pitch it to some other publishers soon, but right now my main priority is getting my noir/fencing graphic novel pitch ready and in the mail to a few of my favorite publishers over here in France. News to follow...

Dang. Sorry to hear that, man. From the looks of these pages though I'd say it's their loss. Hope you find a good home for this or the fencing book soon.

Thanks for the kind words, Chris. I appreciate it. I'll be sure to keep you posted on how things go with this pulp story and my fencing/noir book...

That's a shame , these pages look great.

Do not give up on approaching publishers about this work. Looks fantastic and will find the light of day.

Thanks, Dominic and Chad. I'll be pitching the book around again soon and will definitely let you know what happens.
