The Canadian Comic Creator: Todd McFarlane Is Born
| |
| He was always the best artist in his class. When a teacher needed something drawn on the blackboard, they would call on little Todd McFarlane to help. McFarlane, however, never wanted to become what he is today: one of the most revered comic book and action figure creators in the world. Instead, McFarlane wanted to be a professional baseball player. But, when an injury crushed that dream, McFarlane used his natural talent in drawing to create a comic book empire. Today, McFarlane’s “Spawn” still stands as the most successful independent comic book ever, and his two companies, McFarlane Toys and Todd McFarlane Entertainment, continue to set new standards in the toy and film industries. |

Marketing Your Writing: The Basics of Selling Your Book
| |
| Marketing is important for all writers who hope to sell their work—whether that means books or articles or writing skills. I used to work for a book publishing company, and for several months I was in charge of marketing my boss’s book. It was a writing reference book, actually, and although I had no idea what I was doing when I took over the project, I learned fast and had a lot of fun doing it. |

A Conversation With Comic Book Legend Jerry Robinson
| |
| On my blog Panel Surfing I endeavor to talk about the last true AMerican art form, the comic book, and especially original comic art. I was very fortunate to get an interview with Jerry Robinson - the man who created The Joker and Robin along with Bill Finger for Bob Kane's Batman way back in the early 40's - the Golden Age of Comics. But that is just the beginning of Jerry's accomplishments. |

Authors: Rename Your Book For Another Crack At Success
| |
| There are several reasons to rename a book such as adding a subtitle to be friendlier to search engines. Another important reason is to get a new copyright date because many book critics will not review an old book and reviewers often define an “old” book as one with a copyright of more than a year old. |

iWhatever is the Answer…What Was the Question?

| No one cheers because Jobs is Disney's biggest stockholder. Few knew he helped found Pixar. Fewer yet remember Next. But whisper Apple and folks are glued to their seats to hear what Steve says the next revolutionary product will be. It's managed perception as a fine science...come on a comic book bio?
Apple's announcements usually shake up/reshape the thinking of a number of industries and lots of companies. But wipe the glaze from your eyes and let's look realistically/skeptically at their recent announcements.
What do they really mean for us tomorrow and beyond.
Life in the parallel universe sounds fun, exciting, different from the real world.

A review of the book, Pitch Anything, by Oren Klaff
| |
| As President of the B2B demand generation company, Find New Customers, and a prolific blogger, I’m often invited to do book review. But after doing quite a few, one grows jaded a bit – so we ask tough questions.
The two questions I ask every time I do a book review:
Does the book bring fresh insights and perspective?
Is the book well written and easy to read?
Only a book that gets a “Yes” on both questions gets a 5 star review. |
