A Little About Yourself: I'm a scriptwriter (based in the UK) with experience of working on low-budget features and shorts, I also work in film production as a continuity/script supervisor. I'm new to comic writing but have been developing my own projects, and have also completed a short, 'Hide & Seek', for 'Dead Roots', a zombie comic anthology: http://www.deadroots.co.uk/?p=220.

Worked on a Womanthology Project before?: No, unfortunately missed the chance before.

Sample of Work: A young maiden waits to be rescued from the top of a tall tower. Centuries pass but she doesn't age a day. Eventually, she finds the 'emergency exit' and discovers that the world outside the tower has changed dramatically.

A Little About Yourself: I have rekindled a love of writing, which I do whenever I can get past the crud that life tends to hand out. I was (and am) thrilled to have been a part of "Heroic" and I hope to be part of the future projects. I'm also now involved in another anthology and possibly others as well as maybe developing a webcomic.

Worked on a Womanthology Project before?: Indeed! "And You Will Know Them by the Rake of Their Hats" was published in "Heroic"

Sample of Work: Give me ONE tagline example for a story if you were to write a short story for Womanthology (meaning a sentence or paragraph describing your idea). The idea isn't for final use, just gives me an example to go by!

A child sneaks out of her bedroom at night and wanders the neighborhood with her teddy bear. When she meets anyone on her excursion, they ask her who is watching out for her, she replies "Bear." When they ask how Bear protects her, they get to experience it first hand. A comedic horror story.

A Little About Yourself:
By day I am 21 year old college student and by night I am a screenplay writer. Though I have worked on other non-screen writing projects before (everything from poems to online reviews) I've always wanted to write for comics as well but, sadly, never had the time. (or rather the patience!) I am also an artist (both digital and traditional) though I figured I would make my writing shine this time. I heard about this wonderful anthology and I decided to jump at the chance.

Worked on a Womanthology Project before?: No. But I really, really want to!

Sample of Work: A women and her lover must fight against fascist as well as other ominous forces that threaten their love, and most importantly, their lives in an alternative "post Steampunk" WWII.

Worked on a Womanthology Project before?: No.

Sample of Work: I'd love to write so many things, but something that springs to mind would be a comics adaptation of a short story I just wrote for a prose anthology. 'One for Sorrow' is a dark fable/fairy tale inspired by the Mother Goose rhyme and Edgar Allan Poe. It's about girl who falls in love with a cursed boy who can turn into a crow.

Sample of work: in near-future America small towns put up a vital collateral against loans they need to avoid bankruptcy, but if they default the repo agents are sent in: a mech-suited division that always extracts the collateral no matter the opposition. It's a story about family and cultural debt, and what people will do to survive.

A Little About Yourself: I've written and illustrated several webcomic series. YU+ME: dream is a surreal romance adventure story that lasted 6 years and spanned 847 pages. I Was Kidnapped By Lesbian Pirates From Outer Space!!! (I'll let you guess what that one's about! :P) is on its 16th issue, and is published by Platinum Studios. NSFW Darlin' It's Betta Down Where It's Wetta is a comic I do for Filthy Figments about a mermaid and her erotic adventures. And Meaty Yogurt is my newest one, about a woman named Jackie trying to escape the curse of mediocrity that's been put on her town. I also do a lot of diary comics on my tumblr. I never get enough sleep.

Sample of Work:
A baby human girl is found in the wreckage of a space ship that crashed on a planet of sentient slugs who've never encountered alien life. The girl grows up and is seen as a superhero, being stronger, faster, and more resilient than the slug race, though it's all normal human stuff that she's doing.
