Minor Setbacks

by clergyman @ 19/01/2008 - 19:13:30

Ah, here we go.

Now I'm focused on promotional matters rather than comic strip creation I am encountering the usual enthusiasm-sapping bollocks.

Walking Wounded #2 went to the printer's last weekend, but so far they have steadfastly failed to respond. We went through this last year and I am not going to panic. Yet.

My attempts to secure a slot at the Bristol Comic Expo have also proved fruitless. There's nothing on their website to explain how one becomes an exhibitor, and approaches to the listed contacts have been ignored.

The icing on the cake has been an interview for a small press blog I was supposed to do which was cancelled at the last moment and then not re-arranged. Totally the perogative of the blogger concerned, but a bit of a kick in the teeth all the same.

None of these problems are going to set us back unduly, though, it seems to come with the territory.

Walking Wounded #2 will be printed and ready for the Thing.

We will exhibit at a major comic show this year, if not Bristol then perhaps the friendlier Birmingham show.

I will get some promotion done. I can always interview Steve and vice versa!

Creating comics is the nice bit, trying to get people to read those comics basically sucks!

I'm suprised you don't get a reply from Bristol - while i think their website is very badly done for such a big con they've always emailed me back pretty quickly. I'd say you'd be lucky to get a table thou as the exhibitor booking forums were posted out at the end of august/start of september. Thou never say never try dropping them an email again, can't hurt.

Thanks for the info, Ztoical!

Please can you let me know where these booking forums are so I don't miss out again?
