I think this might be me???? 👀👀
P10: With graphic novel scripts, be aware that you can give the artist some freedom. For example, you don't have to specify every single detail or the colour of an object unless those things are important to the plot. I am enjoying this. Well thought-out panels and characters.

In the Amazon, a research lab is on the brink of a groundbreaking discovery—one that will destroy worlds, unless one girl and her friends can unravel the quantum mystery, overcome their fears, and find the break-through that saves them all. #GN #YA #DIS #SF #DVpit

I really loved The Oracle Code by Marieke Nijkamp @mariekeyn.bsky.social! And there is a side character in The Whispering Dark who takes the same meds as me - which both took me by surprise and made me emotional 💛 #PitchDis
