Today’s Featured Guest:
Maddie Salvage’s career as a writer and illustrator has spanned a decade and a number of formats, including comic books, graphic novels and prose novels. She has worked on a wide array of genres and books, the most notable being Anthony Horowitz’s acclaimed Alex Rider graphic novel series. She has helped numerous brands bring their stories to life such as Prime Video, Walker Books and Supermassive Games but her true passion lies with releasing her own stories on Kickstarter. Her work draws inspiration from her passion for mythology and folklore which led to series such as Raven God and The Preyground. Currently, she has a Kickstarter running for her latest graphic novel, Aglow, which draws from one of her favorite creatures from legend, vampires.
