PPP3: Andy Oliver Email

This morning I emailed Andy Oliver who is an editor at Broken Frontier a news site that specialises in raising the profile of small press self publishers. With self publishing being an avenue I want to get into as a stepping stone to greater things, I thought it would be a great idea to contact someone in that field.

Here is my email;

"Hi Andy,

My name is Tom Roberts and I’m an illustrator studying at Leeds College of Art. I’m currently in my final year of study and am looking into different avenues of work post graduation. 

I am a keen narrative illustrator and saw that, along with Broken Frontier, you discuss zines quite frequently over on Twitter. I was wondering if you had any advice for someone starting off in this area of creativity. 

I expect you’re a very busy person, but I would be very grateful if you could impart some knowledge to me, or even suggest a few other people who you think would be worth getting in touch with.

Thanks for taking the time to read this,

Tom"
