The Life of a Managing Editor

I thought I'd fill folks in a little on what my routine is as the Managing Editor at Ape Entertainment.

I have a real-life job, as I jokingly refer to it, which means that I can't dedicate all of my time to Ape stuff. But over the last couple of weeks, here are a few of the things I have done:

• Edited the five-page Goblin Chronicles story for our Free Comic Book Day issue, coming out in May.
• Edited the scripts for issues 2 and 3 of the same Goblin Chronicles.
• Worked with Stan in creating a FCBD ad for SubCulture
• Reviewed about a dozen or so submissions and pitches, for pencilers, inkers, colorists, and whole stories (I do this every Thursday). Most of the submissions that cross my desk 'aren't quite there yet,' but on occasion there are some that catch my eye, which I in turn send to David and Brent for their comments
• Sent out a few issues of SubCulture #1 to solicit for pinups for future issues
• Keep up with the public and private Ape message boards

So it's a pretty busy routine for me. But I do enjoy it. It's nice to see how things work from this perspective.
