Slight Change of Pace

So for the past year I've been working two jobs at low pay to subsidize Grimalkin Press. And loved every minute of it. However I want to do more than just put HIVE out. I want to make Grimalkin Press something that can publish small minis for creators without the resources to do it themselves, I'd also not like to continue dodging student loan officers to do so. So I've taken a new job. One that pays a gross amount of money. Basically I will be traveling around nonstop catering movie sets. Which will of course take up all of my time for the foreseeable future. What?! Does this mean Grimalkin Press will disappear?! HELL NO! GRIMALKIN PRESS WILL CONTINUE BETTER THAN EVER. Basically I'm just taking this job to better afford bigger and better books to be put out. I'm installing two compatriots as team members to handle all the day to day business in this transitional phase. I definitely want to remained involved in an editorial facet but for the first few months it will take me a while to figure out the practicality of this with traveling all the time etc. So to repeat:

GRIMALKIN PRESS IS CONTINUING! Just at a different pace and staffing.

HIVE 4 is all ready to go and the bases are covered for getting it out and the rest of the publishing schedule will roll out as the wrinkles in this new set up are ironed out. I'll be posting contact information for the two new members in the next day or so.

Gathering Info For Resource Sections

One of the main ideas that was in my head when I started Grimalkin Press was wanting to help and publish all the beautiful work that languished inside of sketchbooks and seldom visited blogs because of how daunting taking the next step to being published seems to lots of artists. I wanted us to be not just an anthology but an institution that helps and guides artists towards the goals of both self publishing and promoting their work. We don't claim to be experts in the field but we do have kindly avuncular natures and the desire to put the sweat and man hours into your project and see it succeed. We get totally stoked at the idea of your comics getting reviewed and people being able to hold the pictures and words that you worked so hard on.

With that in mind I want to put together a section on this site that is a resource pool of publishers that take unsolicited submissions and sites that will review your work. So when you have a new piece finished you can just come here and go down the list mailing it out to your heart's content. We have a list of places we've compiled just from a year or so of pouring over websites and finding new review blogs, but we'd like YOUR help.  Email us or comment with lists of all the review sites and underground publishers you know about. We'll continue updating the resource sections as we get your intel.

I think the spirit of community that exists within small press comics is one of the greatest strengths of the medium. Okay that's it kids we'll all meet up at the tree house after school!
