As some of you have already heard, ComicMix and I are parting ways.
Despite some great accomplishments with the news element of ComicMix over the last few months, I was informed today that the company is shifting its focus away from the news side of the comics industry and refocusing its resources on the publishing side. Unfortunately, that puts me in the job hunt once again.
Yes, it came as a bit of a surprise to me, too. I’ll have more to say about all of this at a later point, but for now I’d just like to ask any of you reading this to contact me if you know of any online, print or multimedia outlets looking for a hardworking, online-savvy writer/editor/blogger with significant experience in both the print and online news worlds.
Here are a few links with information about what I can do, where I’ve been, etc. I hope you’ll pass them along to anyone who could use someone with my background. Any help you can offer is appreciated, as Jessica and I are in a bit of a rough spot right now. Her job contract is up after this weekend, leaving us both out of work, in limbo and horribly worried about our future.
