Slug Our Logo October 23, 2003

Tagged: Misc

Audra Williams from Halifax didn’t quite steal our logo, but she did use the No Media Kings name when she published her spirited and lovely chapbook, Fiction Has Rules.

Hold a mirror up to your monitor for a secret message.

Then she sent me this metal printing slug, which sits in its inverted glory on my desk.

Hooray for neat mail!

I'm Jim Munroe, a novelist who left HarperCollins to showcase and propagate indie press alternatives to Rupert Murdoch-style consolidation. This site is a launching pad for the stuff I make, articles about how to make them, and a source of my two main food groups: inspiration and feedback. Want more details on my methods and work? Check here. Upcoming personal appearances, if any, are listed below.
- Sun., March 28, 1:30pm: PAX East IF Gathering, Boston

In a blow against boring readings, DIY Book podcaster and SF novelist Hamish Macdonald blogged about handing out fake airline tickets to his audience members.

The author of the very funny Nedroid comics has put up an amazing tute for colouring comics, including lighting. If you've hit a wall in your Photoshop-fu training, this might help you vault it.

The excellent political science fiction conference, Think Galacticon, has just announced the dates for the next one, June 26 - June 28 2009. Started from a reading group in Chicago's Wicker Park and inspired by the 30 years running feminist SF con Wiscon, they were nice enough to feature me as one of the guests of honour at their first one. They're a welcoming and multi-faceted bunch, and unlike a lot of cons they've got a location right in the heart of the city so it's easy to check out Chicago as well.

John August's website is full of great scriptwriting how-to articles, an interesting post-mortem on his Sundance-buzzed lo-fi sci-fi movie, and a very funny post-apocalypse sitcom webisode.
