publishing basics

FEBURARY 2025

REVISE AND RETREAD

2025 has been an interesting year so far, to say the least. While there is one large matter that has set the tone thus far (more on that later as I’m able to share) there has been another focus on things behind the scenes which has me going back over some older work to revise and polish to prepare it for publication.

Those who have been following along for any length of time have no doubt learned I’ve written some graphic novel and comic-based projects. And while I’ve forged ahead in some prose ventures these other works have been left behind. While finished stories they weren’t entirely up to the final edit version they needed to be as I look at future publishing options and methods available moving forward.  This means I’ve been revising and rereading older scripts and even plotting out new ones as I work through the backlog.

The plan is to have things finished by the end of the year, taking a title or so a month and working through it while I complete other projects and matters. And so far we seem to be on track. It’s also an interesting matter as I’ve been able to return to some other stories I had forgotten in part and be reminded of just how good they still are after all this time. This revelation, in turn, has been serving to inspire me to plan out more tales and ideas—both in prose and comics related titles. And this speaks nothing to the other prose titles that also will get some retread and even revision—besides the new titles and projects I’d also like to create and get to now as things grow more into focus for the rest of the year.

So bottom line is I’m busy, as usual, but also getting  excited to finally be able to get things finished that have long languished on the shelf in hopes of finally being able to bring them to press. So, heres to me being able to share some more good news and updates on things in the not too distant future...
