“I started out writing romance novels, and that's a side of publishing that's very female oriented. 99.9% of the writers are women, most of the editors are women, and these are books written for the female gaze. And so my point of view - the way I looked at fandom and publishing and writing - was all about women. So for me that's what was natural, that's what was comfortable. And then I moved over to comics. And all of a sudden it was... Pardon the expression, it was a sausage fest.” WritingBookRomanceNaturalNovelFemaleMovedPoint Of ViewPublishingRomance Novel Author:Marjorie M. Liu
“I've seen a tremendous shift especially in indie comics. I see all these young women who are out there creating. They're making these great web comics. Their graphic novels are getting published. They're making all this wonderful art. They're powerful. There's this vital energy about it that's really, really beautiful that years ago I knew existed but I didn't see so clearly.” ArtBeautifulEnergyPowerfulNovelWonderfulYoung WomenGraphicReally Beautiful Author:Marjorie M.
