Promote my young adult graphic novel Evil Witch Allie and the Book of Secrets to reach a larger audience. I will hold multiple in-person events, table at several comic conventions and festivals, and promote the book through interviews and guest spots on podcasts. 2: Complete the script for its follow up book Evil Witch Allie and the Dead Boy to hone my writing skills and build career momentum. I will take my existing outline and develop it into a finalized script. I plan to hire professional editor Atla Hrafney to help me revise and perfect the story.
I wasn?t able to promote the book quite as much as I had hoped, but I still managed to reach quite a few new readers. I was able to table at a number of events in 2019 and did some interviews. I was planning to do more in person stuff, including a signing in 2020. I replaced the signing with an online event because of quarantine. 2: I completed the script and am currently drawing the third book. Having a professional editor really helped me hone my writing skills. The script ended up being much longer than I had originally planned. So I ended up getting an extension on the project. Having the time and the help of an editor allowed me to Improve my writing skills a lot.
