As a natural story teller and true lover of comics, I’ve been nudging Jenn to try her hand at writing some comics for a long time, and she finally jumped in, and it paid off! Can’t wait to see what she does!
I'm incredibly thrilled to report that I won @madcavestudios.com's talent search in the writing category this year! I've really been loving so many of the comics they publish, so it means a lot to me to have their vote of confidence as I kick off my comic writing journeys!
The wait is over!
With hundreds of submissions to choose from, we'd like to thank everyone who took the chance to apply to our eighth annual Talent Search! Without further ado, we're proud to announce the winners of this year's search!
