Hello Cartoonists:

Beacon Press is looking for a cartoonist for a graphic novel based on an Octavia Butler novel. This blurb was on Alison Bechdel’s blog–pass on to anyone you think might be interested.

Attention Octavia Butler fans: Beacon Press wants to publish a graphic adaptation of Butler’s novel “Kindred.” They’re currently “inviting proposals from cartoonists who appreciate Octavia Butler’s legacy, and reflect her commitment to social justice in their own work.

Those interested in discussing a proposal should email the editor of the Graphic Books list, Allison Trzop, at atrzop at beacon.org.” The deadline is March 16!
