WRITE NOW! ENDS ITS 20-ISSUE RUN AT TWOMORROWS

Write Now!, the professional "how-to" magazine on writing for comics,
animation, and sci-fi, concludes its six-year run with TwoMorrows
Publishing this February. The final issue, #20, is solicited in the
December issue of Diamond Comic Distributors' PREVIEWS catalog, and is
available for ordering now.

"Write Now! has had an amazing run, and I'm incredibly proud of what
editor Danny Fingeroth has accomplished with it," offered TwoMorrows'
publisher John Morrow. "Danny has shaped it into the preeminent
publication catering to anyone with an interest in the nuts and bolts
of writing for the comics medium. If you've read every issue, you've
likely acquired the equivalent of a higher education degree in the
intricacies of scripting. But while our readership has been
fanatically loyal during its run, both Danny and I feel the magazine
has reached a point where the economy is taking a toll on its
circulation, and the increasing amount of time involved in its
production might be spent more productively elsewhere. So we've
jointly decided that #20 will be the last issue."

"Producing Write Now! For TwoMorrows has been one of the highlights of
my career," said editor Danny Fingeroth. "The art and craft of writing
comics is something that is often neglected due to the higher
visibility of comics art. Write Now gave me the chance to share what
I've learned about writing over the years with people who are
passionate about expanding their writing knowledge and skills. I got
to meet and speak with many great creators of all eras during the
magazine's run, getting them to speak about what they do in ways that
had seldom been touched on before. And, of course, working with the
great John Morrow the rest of the TwoMorrows crew was always a
pleasure. I look forward to continuing my relationship with this
important publishing entity."

Write Now! #20, shipping in late February, features a focus on the
upcoming Spirit movie, showing how Frank Miller translated Will
Eisner's comics to the big screen, through interviews with key players
behind the making of the movie, and a look at what made Eisner's
comics so special from a writing standpoint. There's also an interview
with Colleen Doran, writer Alex Grecian discussing how to get a pitch
green-lighted, plus a bevy of script and art examples from a wide
range of projects.

Subscribers will be receiving information shortly regarding the
resolution of any prepaid issues beyond #20, with the option of
receiving either a refund, or applying their balance toward another
TwoMorrows book or magazine.

Back issues of Write Now! are still available from TwoMorrows
Publishing's website (http://www.twomorrows. com) in both print and digital
form, and Digital Editions of each issue will be available
indefinitely, even after the remaining print copies are sold out. Also
available is a Best of Write Now trade paperback collection, and the
How To Create Comics, From Script To Print book and DVD combination,
co-authored by Write Now! editor Danny Fingeroth and Draw! magazine
editor Mike Manley. Fingeroth plans to continue working with
TwoMorrows Publishing on several upcoming projects, to be announced in
the near future.
