Here are two work in progress pages for our upcoming graphic novel, "Charu! Volume One"! There are roughly 47 pages left to line, then afterwards would be the phase of adding screentones. 🎉 #middlegradebooks #LibrarianRead #booksky #mangaforkids #kidsbookshelf #indiebooks #smallpress

To parents, educators, and adults, it may be difficult to figure out how to connect to children or teens who are interested in anime and manga when you don't know much about it yourself. That's fine! How about a conversation starter? #kidlitart #smallpress #kidsmanga #manga #middlegrade #booksky

Starting off a new post series on why I started LumicPress! A big reason: there aren't many publishers focused on original, manga-styled kids comics. I want to build a home for creators who need a place to publish their work. #kidlitart #smallpress #kidsmanga #manga #middlegrade #booksky

If you're skeptical about encouraging children to read comics, hopefully our visual literacy post series will help ease your doubt!

Each week, we post a fun drawing prompt to get kids (and grownups!) thinking creatively. Use the prompt, make your art, and share it with us in the comments or tag our page—we’d love to feature your work!

Slowly but surely, things are coming
together! Here's some updates for our two projects. For now,
there's a lot of editing work to be done with both series.
I appreciate everyone for their patience! #kidlitart #middlegradebooks #smallpress #manga #comics #mangaartist #comicart

I figured I'd use some of this space here at bluesky to write a little about Lumicpress. This was something I've been working on since 2023, and I'm hoping to finally release books at end of this year or next. I'm very much committed to literacy and getting reluctant readers to read through comics.

Hi all! We're a relatively new publisher on the scene (and have yet to officially release any titles) but thank you for stopping by! We are planning on publishing manga-styled comics and illustrated novels, particularly mid-grade to start. #kidlitart #middlegradebooks #smallpress #manga #comics
