The Many Misfortunes of Eugenia Wang


As of the beginning of November, I've gotten my continuity notes back from my editor. Actually it was three editors and and our designer looking at it (because one of them was our Cantonese expert to look at my jyutping phonetics.

Let the inking begin!

It's a long project, so how do I keep myself going and on track?

As of this writing, I'm 10% through my inks! Here's a little nugget about some of my inspiration for this story:

Cuddlefish Academy


Who would be crazy enough to do graphic novels? My fellow Cuddlefish Academy Professor, Kaz Windness asked this question, so I answered it.



Stangents. I'm thinking about maybe making a course on this in the future, but here's a sneak peak at what they are.



What makes for a good kidlit portfolio?



Don't forget I'll do a FREE 3-minute kidlit portfolio review for you! Just comment on one of my social media posts or message me on them with your portfolio link! This one is for Krista Weltner.

There's a Zombie in the Basement

As I'd mentioned in my previous newsletter, in expectation of the upcoming release of a special 4th edition of THERE'S A ZOMBIE IN THE BASEMENT, I started asking parents to send me their kids' monster drawings. Keep sending them!

Updated: Oct 4

Once again, I've been slacking on my intended update schedule for this newsletter, but I was running the RMC-SCBWI's Letters & Lines children's book conference a few weekends ago and the Sunday Ha Ha was on hiatus, so there wasn't any new Peter Cadaver content for a couple of months. But, I'm aiming to have monthly editions going forward. Make sure to share this with your friends and enemies who you think might have a secret morbid curiosity about me. Sign up for regular updates via my contact form.


 

Events


The next event I'll be at will be the Grand Lake Pumpkin Patch on Friday, October 13th. I'll be doing zombie caricature commissions from 2-4 pm and again from 6-9 pm, a reading and signing of my bedtime storybook, THERE'S A ZOMBIE IN THE BASEMENT at 4-5 pm (or 3 pm according to this flyer).

 

Peter Cadaver


These are the strips from September.

 

The Many Misfortunes of Eugenia Wang


My complete rough dummy is now with the production editor, so while I wait for continuity notes, I decided I needed to continue working on the Salem Charter Academy submission packet, a middle grade graphic novel that lives in the same world as my weekly Peter Cadaver comic strip. Fortunately for me, my amazing agent, Ann Rose at the Tobias Literary Agency hosted her clients at the Rosebud Writer's Retreat. I made a video to show you what it was like. It was incredibly productive, as I was able to firm up my synopsis so I could finish up my sample art for my submission shortly after returning.
