Il ne l’a pas annoncé comme ça (08/04) :
Hello Everyone,
First, let me once again thank everyone for the incredible support I have received since announcing I would be leaving IDW Publishing after 16 years. It was a tough choice, in the past 29 years I have had two jobs, first at WildStorm Productions (later DC/WildStorm), and then at IDW. I do not make changes like this lightly.
A couple of things I would like to say.
Leaving IDW was my decision alone. I will always have a soft spot for the company that has been my home for so long. I will miss most of my former co-workers a great deal. The work they do is outstanding, and I care enormously for them. But it was time to go.
As of today, I am excited for the future. I have decided to do something that may be a bit crazy, I will be starting my own publishing company. I will not yet speak directly about my publishing plans, or even divulge the name of my company. In the weeks to come I will be filing paperwork to create it and I will periodically update via social media.
My goal is to announce my first books, assuming things go as planned, at San Diego Comic-Con in July.
More soon.
All the best,
Scott Dunbier
Unemployed Editor
En tout cas, sa boite se monte (14/06).
A little over two months ago, I left my place of employment after more than 16 years. Six weeks from today, I’ll be announcing some projects coming next year from my newly formed company.
And today…
Today I’m revealing publicly the name of that company for the first time. It will be my next step forward, and hopefully the last word on my professional career.
But first, a brief history. I see my career in four acts.
My first act was art dealing—I was finding my path through my love of comic art. My second act was WildStorm/DC—expanding that love in a different and more personal way. My third act was IDW Publishing—things were coming into focus and I was honing my craft.
ACT 4 PUBLISHING.
Living and dying on my own merits, betting on myself. My fourth act.
Clarity.
On Friday afternoon at Comic-Con, I will tell you about my future plans, about the kinds of books I want to see on my bookshelves, some that will feel familiar, others that won’t. But they’ll be mine.
Thanks to my friend Chip Kidd for creating Act 4 Publishing’s unique and thoughtful logo (you nailed it!), and to all my friends, some whose names would be familiar to you, while many you would not recognize—you all make me feel like George Bailey, the richest man in town.
Thank you, everyone, and see you at Comic-Con.
Il semble s’appuyer sur cette réflexion :
I have an idea for a book that I really want to own…
I think I’ll make it.
