How does a small comic book publisher succeed in today's market? Northwest Press opened their doors in 2010, braving a recession, the rise of digital media, and the disappearance of specialty shops and bookstores to create a publishing company specializing in a niche market: lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender comics. Two years later, Northwest is still growing. Come and join in a lively discussion about how to operate on a shoestring while looking like a pro, how to leverage social media and connections, and how to succeed as a small press. Moderated by
Chance Whitmire (
Fanboys of the Universe), and featuring the owner of Northwest Press,
Charles "Zan" Christensen (
The Mark of Aeacus,
The Power Within), as well as four of the creators he's published:
Dylan Edwards (
Transposes),
Justin Hall (
Glamazonia: the Uncanny Super Tranny,
No Straight Lines),
Steve MacIsaac (
Shirtlifter), and
Leia Weathington (
The Legend of Bold Riley).
