Illustrator Needed For Quick Turnaround

Posted on: by Jeremiah Tolbert

I’m a web designer work­ing on a book cover and accom­pa­ny­ing web­site for a small e-​​book about liv­ing a fragrance-​​free life. For the cover, the client is inter­ested in an illus­tra­tion of a woman from the Jane Austen period, empire waist, fancy dress, etc hold­ing a bot­tle of per­fume in one hand and hold­ing her nose as it if stinks in the other.

Email me are what your rates are, and an esti­mate of how much this cus­tom illus­tra­tion may cost. Please send along a link to a port­fo­lio for me to show the client.  Ideally, I’m look­ing for a style sim­i­lar to this piece of stock.

If you know an illus­tra­tor who does quick work, for­ward this mes­sage along to them.   I need to move on this piece of work as quickly as possible.

An out­take of my shoot for the Wastelands give­away over at Tor​.com. This is actu­ally I think my favorite from the shoot, but it didn’t suit the pur­poses of the shoot (mate­r­ial for a cap­tion contest).

Meet the New Managing Editor of Escape Pod

Posted on: by Jeremiah Tolbert

Big news of the year so far– recently, Steve Eley of Escape Pod asked me if I would like to come on board as man­ag­ing edi­tor of Escape Pod. I would han­dle story selec­tion for the most part (with his input), and the behind the scenes pro­duc­tion pipeline. He would still host the show and do read­ings and be the aweome guy that he is.

So I jumped at the chance. I con­sider Escape Pod to be the most impor­tant thing hap­pen­ing in SF short fic­tion today. It reaches audi­ences that the print mag­a­zines never reach. I am sad to lose a reprint mar­ket for my own work, but I feel I can make a big impact with Escape Pod on the genre as a whole.

I ask your patience as I sort out the slush pile. It’s fairly deep and back­logged, and I will be tack­ling it as quickly as I can.  If you’re think­ing about sub­mit­ting some­thing, wait 2 weeks, and then fire away.

The pro­duc­tion pipeline is also very short. I am going to be grab­bing and pro­duc­ing a cou­ple of sto­ries within the next sev­eral days. If you are inter­ested in nar­rat­ing and can help with a super-​​rapid turn­around time while I get ramped up, and have done this before before or even if you just want to get started, drop me a line in the com­ments. Cat Rambo, I’m look­ing  (with plead­ing eyes) at you.… ;)

I really need to get out and take some pho­tos. I imag­ine you’re all get­ting really tired of the sand.
