Need Letterer - PAID

Hi, I'm part of a group producing a print anthology that will be distributed at conventions around the country starting with the Boston Con this spring, plus Chicago, Charlotte, and others. It will include a Foreword from a well-known editor, and should provide some great exposure for the Letterer and other creators involved.



This is a PAID assignment, not a back-end "royalty-and-a-prayer" project. (ha)



So, I'm looking to hire a freelancer to letter a 5-page story plus a sixth "intro" page.



The (interior) intro page will contain a "title" story logo/heading (the series title, that would normally appear as the title on a cover), then a paragraph on the story premise, followed by paragraphs on the creators, including the letterer, of course. The intro page will also contain a spot illustration of a character from the story.



The 5 pages of sequentials contain mainly word balloons (light to medium density both in number of word balloons and words per balloon), few captions, and a handful of SFX sounds.



The story is set in the near future in the "real" world, but does contain some unusual animals/mythological-type beasts.



The script is complete and the artwork is underway. The artwork files should be available in about 4 weeks, and the deadline for completed lettering will be sometime mid- to late January. Our production deadlines will allow a couple weeks for the lettering.



Please email a link to sample lettered sequentials and title/"trade dress" work to roba65@mindspring.com. If your work and/or the samples provided have been print published in the past, that's a plus.



In your email, please provide a per page rate for the 5 pages of lettering on the sequentials, as well as a rate/charge for the work on the Intro page, including the title/logo lettering. Payment will be via PayPal in US Dollars, and a freelancer contract will be provided before any work starts.



Note there is the possibility of lettering work on OTHER stories in the anthology as well, but this is *not* a requirement for this current posting and your rate quotes should be based only on the amount of work described above.



If we look like a good match, I can send along more details. I hope to have this position locked down within the next 1-2 weeks.



I look forward to hearing from you! http://bit.ly/8nkJgB
