Ultimately, I want ScribbCrib to alter the perception of publishing and distribution. I want to break away from the old rhetoric and enter the new age, leading the way and creating our niche in entertainment, creating a way for a new generation of authors to be seen by the world. I want to be able to introduce the world to the next generation of breakthrough writers and artists, showing off their talents for all to see before the corporate world can take them over.
My advice to artists is don’t stop. No matter how many walls you run into and how many fiery rings you have to jump through, always keep looking for ways around or through the obstacle blocking you from achieving your dream.

My job is to oversee the growth and development of the company to ensure that it provides long-term value for the authors, customers and investors.
I hope that we will be able to change the structure of the publishing industry through ScribbCrib. I believe the best way to describe our goals is with a quote that has been attributed to many including Daniel J. Boorstin and Steven Hawking. “The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.” With the current business model of the publishing industry, many viewpoints are left unspoken or hidden from the public’s view due to the publisher’s concerns about profits. Through our creation of a new model that gives more choices to the consumer, we can dispel these illusions of knowledge by allowing authors who were once silenced to finally be heard.

Avoid clichés, a college English teacher once told me writers sometimes use clichés without knowing the real meaning behind them, they use it thinking they know what it means, in the sense of saying something like “shooting fish in a barrel” that isn’t your own words. Even if you might know the meaning behind it, it’s better to produce words of your own meaning rather than putting clichés into your work.
For artist treat every page equally regardless of how many panels or what each panel may include treat each piece of art you put into your drawing with the same passion as you did with the last. When setting up deadlines never overstretch your own talents and always leave time to look over what you did and make any final tweaks before finalizing it. Always practice, if you are ever with the thought that you would like to produce multiple stories then make sure that you can develop the skills needed to produce both stories with the same amount of skill between the two without having one or the other falter in terms of drawing technique or the story itself.
