Help a girl achieve something great

[TOW-19]

This is comic book related.

As some of you know, I write comic books. One of my editors, Kristen Simon, is the editor-in-chief over at Shadowline for Image Comics. She has actually made it to the top-5 nomination ballot for best editor. She is asking anyone who is anyone to try and help her make it to the top. LOL Think Diezel's magic comedy contest for this one. Her email sent out to everyone in the industry pretty much says it all, and I can tell you, through my experience working with her for many years, she IS a great editor and has worked hard to get where she needed to be for this.

 

If you would, take a moment to read her email and, if you can spare the time, drop a vote in her favor.

Every little bit helps, and I know it would be something that would make her YEAR.

Hi everyone! This is it! Thanks to your nomination votes, I actually made it into the top 5 for the Eagle Awards (The UK version of the Oscars for comic books)! I’m up for “Favorite Editorâ€, and I am up against 2 Marvel editors, so I’m really going to need your help this one last time! Please spread the word around! It’s really awesome that I made it this far, and I’ll be REALLY surprised if I actually win, but no harm in giving it a shot! If I win, I get to go the Bristol Comic Con next year where the ceremony is held!

 

Please go here to vote: http://www.eagleawards.co.uk/vote.asp (I am category 10) And if you have more than one e-mail address, feel free to vote under them as well! I have no shame. They don’t put you on any mailing lists, or spam you.

 

There are also books I have edited that were nominated, and artists/writers that I have edited who were also nominated. Someone suggested last time that I should send a list of who else to vote for in the 30 categories. So if any of you find it helpful, here it is:

No, I am just a writer.

I think I became a writer because I couldn't hack it as an artist! LOL

 

I wrote two mini-series of Dungeons & Dragons a while back that did well. Since then, I have been putting all available focus on writing a series of short stories, much in the same vein as "A Series of Unfortunate Events" and "Goosebumps" which will be aimed at younger children at the reading age, set in the horror genre with a Chicago background. UF usually finds its way to eating into that time pretty well.

 

Doing a Google search on Jay Donovan and Dungeons & Dragons comics will usually produce my series written.

[Guest M16Assassin]

good stuff!! Let me know when you finish your kids stories I'll pick one up for my little nephew. You don't live very far so let me know what bookstores in the city will be carrying your line of goosebumps.

[Guest Corruptor310]

Dang, I thought she needed help of a different kind.

 

 

But I always do what I can, so yes, I have voted.

 

TOW also make sure we do know when that book comes out, my daughter likes them Goosebump books so I am sure she would give it a try.

Thanks for the help here, guys.

Just stopped by the Rogue 7 forum where I posted this thread and THOSE guys got their shit together.

I think between about 6-8 of them they voted with about 20 email addies! LOL

 

She could use the help and it's just a one-time vote from your email address.

Any help would be great.

She wants to topple those Marvel gangsters! LOL
