I am currently the Marketing Manager for UDON Entertainment, a North American publisher of graphic novels and art books, including a large range of licensed video game and anime properties. My responsibilities include promotion, social media, market research, copy editing, customer communications, event planning and anything else required to keep the company running smoothly!
Our recently launched Manga Classics line features graphic novel adaptations of classic literary novels. I adapted the script for Pride and Prejudice based on the original Jane Austen novel, and also wrote the English-language script for our edition of Victor Hugo's Les Misérables.
My other recent initiatives include editing and coordinating the World of Warcraft Tribute book, developed in collaboration with Blizzard Entertainment; digital publishing for our licensed comics via Comixology and other online outlets; and developing our social media presence. I was also the writer for Rocket Fox, a four-season webcomic featured on Namco-Bandai's ShiftyLook website.
As a prose writer, my interests are focused in young adult, paranormal and magic realism. I am currently working on a young adult historical novel set at the Grand-Guignol, Paris' notorious "Theatre of Terror".
I have a life-long interest in historical costuming and clothing design, with a particular focus in Victorian styles and Japanese street fashion. In general, my schedule is too busy for me to accept commission sewing work, but I will consider really interesting projects!
I enjoy decaf tea, art house cinema, dressing up and getting down.
