@KatrinaF yes! I learned it specifically for graphic novels and love all the shortcuts to paneling, speech bubbles and ease of use. Amd the fill tools are awesome too.
@xin-li thank you! I missed that scbwi webinar. Thankfully I've done most of the points on the slide. Since it's a series, Im trying to make sure the launch is good so theres a chance to make more. And thinking if some one buys one, and they like it, then theres a good chance they buy the others.
My son learned to read with graphic novels (Dogman) too and its a big reason why I made this book. To create something fun and engaging for kids that theyd learn to read on the side. The book illustrations carry a lot of the story, so even if you cant read every word, you still get the story.
I'm from Finland and hope the book gets translated. It'll be pitched via my agency, but it's up to the publishers if it gets picked up or not.
I do have a Goodreads account, and its on Amazon too, and if you do get a chance to review, I'll send a little signed print and some stickers for you as a small thank you. (Even internationally, it all fits in an envelope.) Just message me your address on social media or email. 
@ArtMelC thanks! I've been a member for i think around 6-7 years... Hoping that my oldest finishes a few of the classes before I cancel my membership. 
@Jeremy-Ross thanks! We live overseas on a mil base in Korea, so I dont have local bookstores or much opportunities to promote locally here. I am talking at one of the base schools at the end of the month so thats exciting. I could reach out and ask if 3PP wants to have me on. I listen to it all the time. I feel a bit of an imposter syndrome asking. 
Always happy to see news like this! I’ve never had to do promotional stuff but something that came to mind to me was getting in touch with your local SCBWI chapter. There’s a specific way you can promote new releases on there, I’ll have to look into it again.
Hi @MirkaH , perhaps @will-terry-art can interview you on his YouTube channel?
@MirkaH You are based in Korea? Asia Festival of Children Content (AFCC) is happening at the end of May in Singapore. Even if you're not able to attend in person, you might want to check if there are opportunities to attend virtually and maybe even get on the panel. It is meant to highlight writers and creators based in Asia or of Asian descent, so you will be eligible as you are based in Asia.
@MirkaH thank you very much! I will reach out to get art goodies from you once I reviewed your book :-).
Dogman is popular in my house too. We have read both Norwegian and Chinese translations. I started to form ideas in early reader format because of seeing how my kid learn to read.
@Griffin-McPherson Thanks! I will do that as soon as we move back to the states. I live in Korea and there is no chapter here. I'm part of a generic international group, and there are no events or goings on.
wow congrats!! Thats amazing!
