Hi, my name is Rene Thompson. My husband Steven Thompson (aka Booksteve from Booksteve’s Library) and I are currently working with the publisher IDW on a book about popular Webcomics.
I’ve been reading yours and enjoying it quite a bit and was wondering if you might allow us to include some sample strips in our finished book, linking, of course, to your site?
Also, if you have a press release that you could send detailing the premise/background of your strip and how you got involved in doing it as a Webcomic, that would be great. If not, if you’d care to write us a brief paragraph to that effect or answer a few email questions on the subject. We’d like the “About” section to be mostly in your own words.
The planned format as of now will be a brief history of Webcomics followed by an alphabetical survey of currently popular and interesting ones such as yours. Each section will spotlight the creator’s own words on his/her strip and then run a page or two of sample strips (of your choice if you have a preference).
At this time, there has been no definite decision as to how many strips will be included so I have no idea what will make the final cut for sure but I’d love to see yours included.
It’s a big time to be involved in Webcomics and we’re hoping to have the book out by the end of the year to publicize yours and all the other amazing and original strips out there.
Please contact us as soon as possible to let us know if you’ll be willing to participate in what ultimately will be a great marketing tool for you.
Thanks,
Rene Thompson &
