In Response To: A Question For David Mack!!! (mak)

: David, I was wondering if you had any thoughts on how the
: process of finding new writers, and unknown writers
: getting their work seen, can be improved. If a body
: was set up to help discover new talent, would you
: consider making a small contribution to help fund it.
: I mean no disrespect but your artistic skills have
: helped alot in getting you noticed. Thanks!

: Mak!!!

Yeah, I pretty much took it into my own hands. To publish my writing, I just broke down and decided I'd figure out how to draw it as well, and then I put it into little ashcan versions that I would sell at conventions.

THis is pretty much the same thing that Brian Bendis did.
Brian was looking for writing work, but not for work as an artist. But he drew his books anyway in order to get the story across and give his writing a method of presentation.
I sent a copy of Brian's TORSO book (written and drawn by him) to Joe QUesada to introduce Joe to Brians work.
It worked.
Getting something in a presentation form worked very well for each of us.

Of course if you don't want to draw it, having another artist draw a project and them show it at conventions works well too.
