I'm hoping to expand my CV with work-for-hire gigs on existing IPs. If you are a comics publisher or editor looking for writers, please reach out at [email protected] .
And if you've ever read and enjoyed my work, please share and let me know which IP you'd like to see me writer for.

SHARES APPRECIATED!
I'm currently open to any comic writing work available.
I've had works published through @bandofbards.bsky.social and @magmacomix.bsky.social, and am soon to be published by #Red5Comics.
I'm also the 2024 ComiCrown winner for Best Original Graphic Novel.
Samples available!

The reviews have started! Thrilled to be able to pitch to some of the top horror producers working today, but I’d love to extend my reach with a film literary agent. If any of my mutuals/followers have any suggestions or connections to such, please reach out!

While comic pitching slows due to a recovering distribution system, I’ve decided to dust off a horror script and send it to some film contacts I’ve made thanks to interest in adapting my comic work.
The script is outlined. Act one is written. The scares are scary and the spooks are spooky.

I’m pretty aware of time zone differences. As an east coaster, my rejection emails tend to come in at COB west coast time.
What I didn’t expect, was a call from a Hollywood producer wanting to chat about one of my comics during bubble bath time.
Few get that call.
Fewer get that call full naked.

Currently sitting at a pretty quiet con with pen in hand, but all in-progress scripts have been turned in/finalized. That means I need a new project.
If you’re a publisher or editor looking for a writer, please get in touch! I can start today.

Great news! I deactivated X/Twitter, so I have more bandwidth for shameless self promotion here!

The Haunted Mansion one is just as cute and has a hidden Mickey on every page.

I pick up a copy of Death Comes for the Toymaker written by @dakotabrown.bsky.social at Chattanooga Comic Con. This #graphicnovel looks so bad ass! I love the imagery and the idea of Death coming for Santa.

Script complete (barring some formatting and minor edits).
Writer friends: can you point me in the direction of your favorite agents? I’m working with a book-to-film agent for comic adaptations, but haven’t made any connections for straight manuscript representation.
