This feels not dissimilar to my journey as a publisher. It reminds me of hiking in the desert; sometimes, you realize you're being steered only after you look behind you. Very cool to see this from your perspective as a designer.

preëminent? 😀🎩 Gotta class up the joint! When I was at the Dayton Daily News a million years ago, I loved working with source material from the Wright Brothers AND they smarter sister, Katharine. Dec 17th is the 121st anniversary of the famous first flight at Kitty Hawk. I celebrate every year. That’s niche, apparently.

I’d love to collaborate with you on my forthcoming serial/novela (a family drama that takes place in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin). Maybe you can broaden your niche into midwest fiction 😁

I’m game! I do want to work on more fiction, too :)

when you’re ready you can fill out a project request form on my website (and probably wait too long for a response because I am bad at email this time of year)

I still have a final chapter to write and of course some revisions. I’ll be in touch.
