just talking about poor working conditions doesn't do anything to fix them, esp when it's the same convos over and over. job security is always at risk when u seek to better labor, it always will be, but how many of us have even a semblance of security to begin with?? you gotta DO to bring change.

Fan art for my friend @hisiheyah.bsky.social 's graphic novel, Lu and Ren's Guide to Geozoology! If you haven't checked it out yet, please do! The art is downright gorgeous and the story is not only loads of fun, it's really heartfelt too. ☕

For graphic novels, especially adult genre fiction, it's incredibly helpful to review it online, talk about it, recommend it to a friend—adult fiction in the graphic novel space is difficult to place, and nothing convinces readers that they'll like a book more than the personal testimonial.
If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

PLS leave reviews and spread the word about graphic novels you enjoy 😭 it's so hard to even convince agents & editors to consider adult gns & bc of the idea they don't know how to market it

I'm on the hunt for artists/illustrators that specialise in landscapes and scenery, or who love drawing nature! 🌷🏞️🌳

I'd especially love to hear from BIPOC artists, but this is an open call! Self promo welcome, please comment with examples/portfolio links if possible ☺️
