Trying to come up with cities to move to as a freelance comic book editor. I dont want to stay in CT, but NYC cost of living is out of control. I was thinking Philly, but is there a strong publishing community there? Thoughts?

I don't know when I'll be able to move back to New York, but I'd really love to do some comic book community outreach initiatives, especially for queer BIPOC, that are accessible (in-person, zoom, etc).

Is there an exclusively comic books/graphic novels app? There's so much I want to read, but money is, in fact, an object.

Today I turned down an editorial client for the 1st time, after submitting two different bids (one hourly, one flat fee) & doing a sample edit on about 20 pages.

Client and I just didn't have a meeting of the minds about project or process.

So I have room in my calendar for new editing projects!

I'm reading Sayaka Murata's LIFE CEREMONY, & she's making cannibalism seem...quite ordinary &, dare I say, beautiful. I have to finish the book because I have a feeling it's going to take a turn, especially since the protagonist of EARTHLINGS makes an appearance & shes painted in a very dif light

So I tried melatonin last night. Though I still woke up a couple of time, I was able to fall back to sleep, and I feel super well rested. Im more alert and my body doesnt feel like lead. Still gonna get a sleeping test in January, but I'm glad Ive found a way to get some sleep!

I'm seeing a few blank posts on my timeline. Is this a glitch?
November 23, 2023 at 5:38 PM
I need a full-time day job. I've been applying for publishing gigs because this job market is not friendly towards anyone, much less people trying to jump into a different industry, but, honestly, i just need something that i can manage while still being able to edit. & that pays decently.any ideas?

BTW, my schedule is wide open if you need an editor! Comic book scripts, outlines, proofs, art all stages -- I've got you covered! Feel free to message me if you have a project in need of a second eye!

IM WHEEZING! This is so true though. The lack of chaos is a little unsettling.
Been trying to use Bluesky as my main social platform these last few days and I can only describe the vibe as "recovering addicts".

I want to make a OneNote checklist of the basic fundamentals I need to look for when editing comics. Any ideas?
