An Ample Free Sample & a Contest! September 19, 2007
The first third of Therefore Repent! — 60 pages — is now available for your browsing pleasure. And not only is it free to read, it’s also free to use: we’re licencing the jpg versions of these as remixable under this Creative Commons licence. So, if you’ve ever wondered what’d it’d be like to be the writer of a comic book and work with as talented an artist as Salgood Sam, now you can. Open a page up in photoshop or Gimp and replace my words with more interesting ones. Colour the pictures. Use the images as graphics for your non-commercial projects. Send the results to us and we’ll put ‘em up on the site: even better, we’ll send the three most inspiring remixes a free book.
I’ll be doing a Therefore Repent! launch in Vancouver on Friday, Sept. 28th with the creators of True Loves (Jason Turner & Manien Bothma), Jobgoblin (Brian Fukushima), and Hatesong (Fred Grisholm). It’s at Lucky’s Comics, 7-10pm, Free. Then I’m back in Toronto on the 30th for Word on the Street — I’ll be signing books at my table in Fringe Beat between doing a presentation called Be Your Own Boss In The World Of Publishing and a panel with Willow Dawson and Ray Fawkes called “I Have A Great Idea For A Story, But I Need An Artist!” Come say hi!

I should be around and about … I was going to stand somewhere conspicuous and hand out flyers for my website (and I still may), but I’m definitely going.
And actually, I had something to ask you about, too (I’m one of the Municipal Liaisons for Toronto’s NaNoWriMo group this year) — but if I don’t catch you at the Fair, I’ll drop you an email.
