🎉🎉We did it!! The Knight Shift is now fully funded over on Kickstarter, and with 24 days to go! But don't stop there; onto those stretch goals now.

A huge thank you to everyone that has backed so far! And to those that haven't... there's still time.

Some nice sentiments from my proofreader-in-chief. She's the gal to hit up if you need another pair of eyes on your comics, prose or poetry!
Really proud of this and thanks to all who have backed so far! The concept is unique✨️ It's a vortex of thrills, chills and jokes✨️ I proofread the living daylights out of this project so it would mean a lot to me and the creators to be supported in this very first creative attempt✨️
Back The Knight Shift #1 now on Kickstarter to get early bird discounts on selected rewards.

This time last year I was packing suitcases with as little as possible so I could fit my massive TB haul. I ended up leaving with a renewed sense of childlike wonder, og art from @alisonsampson.bsky.social + my spendy haul! Doing it all again this year😈 if you spot me, grab a bizz card, I beg.

A great review from @brokenfrontier.bsky.social covering my first published bit of writing (not to forget all the great writing and art by my comic colleagues).

If you're at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social this year, you can swing by Jason Measure's stall and grab a copy!

Well hello @pagebound.bsky.social I just joined your lovely community✨️ I love how the app has an old forum feel and that it focuses more on community discussion and critical thinking than passive tracking and achievement hoarding! I'll obsess over this over winter❄️ #pagebound #booksky

I asked my French publisher why they are so completist publishing all of an author's work, even novels less likely to sell. She said she sees part of her role as like monasteries in medieval times, to preserve knowledge through the dark ages. I was struck in the gut a bit by this, felt emotional.

Hi #portfolioday! I'm a comic writer from the UK. While I don't yet have a portfolio, last year I made the scary (stupid?) decision to start making comics. I've got two things launching in November: A story in a sci-fi/horror anthology, and a Kickstarter for a fantasy comedy! Links for both below!
