A few weeks back at San Francisco Comic Con I was part of my first ever panel!! I was pretty nervous as I'm not the greatest public speaker. Luckily, I ended up knowing everyone else on the panel and the audience wasn't too huge. I didn't throw up or faint, so I'll call it a success!  In this photo are some most excellent creators from Left to Right: D.J. Kirkland, Some Dude, our excellent moderator Cody Owens, Matt Harding, Dani Colman and Brian Schirmer. They're all amazing creators/people you should check out their work!

Here’s a quick look at a pitch for ‘NESTING’ 

Insanely Awesome Line Art by Alex Diotto

Perfect Colors by Marissa Louise

Flawless Letters by Colin Bell 

Written by Me

I learned a bunch from making this pitch. Specifically about my voice and the kind of stories that I really want to be tell. (Hint: Not Horror.)  At this point it seems unlikely that Nesting will be made, but I figure might as well share these sweet pages!

ONI PRESS ANNOUNCES FIVE NEW TITLES FROM OPEN SUBMISSION POLICY

[matheagerty]

In case you missed it, I’m writing a middle-grade sci-fi graphic novel for Oni Press called Unplugged & Unpopular. It’s drawn by the super crazy immensely talented Tintin Pantoja (Who is AC?) and edited by the wicked awesome powerhouse Robin Herrera. 

The story is about Erin Song a status obsessed 7th grader whose cell phone is taken away and then discovers an alien invasion is happening! The only other people who aren’t under the alien’s mind control are Erin’s Grandma and her friends. Now it’s up to Erin and her elderly allies to stop their invasion! 

The book won’t be released until late 2017 at the earliest, but trust me it’ll be worth the wait. When possible, I’m going to try and post bits on here about the process.

In an effort to identify fresh and diverse new talent, Oni Press launched an open submission policy; the house is revealing five new projects that came from the search at Emerald City Comic Con.

It’s officially been announced! I’m writing a middle-grade sci-fi graphic novel for Oni Press called ‘Unplugged & Unpopular’! 

It’s about a status obsessed 7th grader who uncovers an alien invasion plot after having her cellphone taken away. 

It's being drawn by the insanely talented Tintin Pantoja and edited by the most excellent Robin Herrrera. 

I couldn’t be more excited!
