News about my book and Go! Comi!

[aimeekitty]

(click) Go! Comi just got nomiated for an Eisner!
"Best U.S. Edition of International Material—Japan" for After School Nightmare, by Setona Mizushiro!

translates and publishes manga, including Cantarella and my personal favorite, Her Majesty's Dog (you know the one that A.J., Judy and I cosplayed last year). Just recently they announced that they will be releasing their first original project with Wendy Pini, creator of ElfQuest, Masque of the Red Death.

ok... so why am I saying all this other than I like their manga and they are swell people?

Because they picked up my Japan sketchbook to publish!
Go! Comi is going to release my book later this year. Which means, most likely, you'll be seeing it for sale not just on my website and on Amazon, but also in big retail bookstores in your hometown.

I'm super excited about this. Go! Comi really understands how I want the book to look, and I'm very proud to have my book published by them. It will be manga-sized and will most likely be around 200 pages, probably in color! This is where I've been every weekend for a while, hammering out the pages with the Go! Comi folks. I just gave them the last 4 black and white originals yesterday! There's still a lot of work to be done, but at least it's work on something I love! I really hope ya'll love it.

Congratulations! That's so exciting and I look forward to seeing the finished product ^___^ Is this the first book you've had published? 'Cause I hear it's a pretty incredible feeling XD

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

Sure, I do n't mind if you add me! ^_^ I'm so glad you love your F17!

as to the book... well I co-edited the BJD orb book... and I've self-published my own comic before, but this one is probably the biggest thing I've done, and I'm probably most excited about it. :)

Very nice to hear about your book. If we can work it out, it'd be nice to get one signed by you to host in our anime club as it is also for the exploration and education of its members regarding Japanese culture.

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

I would be honored and delighted!

(but it's not a super serious cultural study... but then I guess anime isn't really either) :)

[mattymorgs.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you got me. =) But I'd like to get one all the same and I'll be happy to promote it to our member base. Feel free to IM or e-mail me to talk more about it! My contact info is in my LJ profile.

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

well, it wont be coming out until later, but yes, I would appreciate any promotion possible! :)

You can feel free to just ask me to send you a copy with a sketch in it, etc... when the book actually is released.
