Hey @johnlees.bsky.social - relevant to your last newsletter.
Nobody talks about failures.
I tracked every comic pitch I sent.
98.2% failure.
Every book I’ve made came from that tiny green slice.
Persistence isn’t strength.
It’s a flaw that sometimes pays off.

In case you've never seen it, here's the creepy Japanese Kleenex adverts from 1986 which used Jane Lancaster's original version of It's A Fine Day.
Rumour spread that the ad was cursed and members of the crew mysteriously died, and that actor Keiko Matsuzaka was impregnated by a demon 👹

Did you know you could buy a digital copy of my book 'Weird Field World'?
It's a mix of world building, fiction, maps, illustrations, detailing a future where earth receives messages from the stars, which turn out to be instructions for building spaceships.

It's been just over a year since leaving Dark Horse and I've grown a lot as a freelance editor. I'm really eager to get back to editing more comics and graphic novels this year, especially for authors in the indie space.

Today I was laid off from Dark Horse Comics. While devastating news, I'm so proud of what I helped make there and am grateful to have worked alongside such amazing coworkers and creators.
I'm not quitting comics yet, so if you or someone you know needs a savvy editor please reach out.
