Hi,
I saw the project and I couldn't help but write to you.
I know that you are looking for someone based in the USA. However, I hope my proposal might tempt you to consider working with someone across the pond!
I have many years experience as an editor, both formally in my academic work, and personally as an editor for a literary magazine. I have worked with many new young writers and a several high profile writers and poets (UK and USA) such as, Richard Skinner, Mimi Khalvati, Fred Pollack and John Burnside.
What's more, I am a huge fan of comics so I know the genre very well. I recently went back through some of my old collection and rekindled my love for the Nikolai Dante Series. Are you familiar with it?
It might sound a little banal, but the comic genre relies on a strong narrative track than any other form of literary work. Yet, such a crucial element is often missed or overlooked. As an editor, I will give the narrative the close attention it deserves. As an assistant writer, I will help with the creation of a unique and exciting narrative voice.
The legal side of things can be sorted out. I will be happy to aid in the organisation of this if you choose to work with me.
I am also well connected within the publishing world in the UK so I could easily link the final work with the right people here.
The project is exactly the sort of thing I am interested in and I am excited to be writing to you about it.
Send me a message if you have any questions!
Matt
