Interview with Yen Press Talent Search Finalist Lily Cernak

The following post is an interview I conducted with a fellow Yen Press Talent Search finalist, Lily Cernak. I decided to be a little proactive and feature other artists from that first search on my blog since I think they still deserve to have a spotlight shone on their hard work. This was quite fun and I hope to be able to do the same for other artists and future finalists.

I’m coming up to my first year anniversary of blogging! In the interest of transparency, I thought it would be fun to talk a little bit about my social media plan throughout last year and see what works for me and what doesn’t. I’ve been looking into building a platform on the web ever since I discovered the power of webcomics and I wanted to do everything I could to ensure a successful book launch for Polterguys.
