1. What is Eximious Press?
Eximious Press started as a publishing company founded by me, Jason Rodriguez. We were going to publish Postcards: True Stories That Never Happened. But then Villard/Random House acquired the rights to the book and we were left asking ourselves, "What is Eximious Press?"
"Graphic Novel Production" is a nice way to describe what we do. The books we'll be editing, writing, and packaging are all given our full attention. I know I turned down a lot of editing gigs because I didn't feel the projects were that good. These are the books I want to see on the shelves - some of them are brought to us (like Elk's Run, The Broadcast, and Dream Compass) and some of them are started in house (like Postcards and Dear Santa, Let Me Explain...)
2. So, you won't be publishing?
I wouldn't say that. I believe in all of the books we're producing. If the stars align and I feel like taking a risk one day, we may add "publishing" to our list of services.
3. And who's this James W. Powell person?
James W. Powell is my assistant editor on Postcards. He started putting together his own projects and I started envisioning Eximious Press as a collaborative of people who's editorial vision I trust. Plus, I already made him a business card.
4. So I can be an editor aligned with Eximious Press?
I have to really, really, really like your editorial vision. Really like it. Or owe you money.
5. Can I bring my project to Eximious Press?
I'm always willing to hear a pitch to see if I can help you out but I've turned down my best friends several times. The project has to be something that's fun, beautiful, and something that I feel has a place in comics - preferably a niche not yet explored. If you think you have such a thing, drop me an email.
