<div>My name is Stone Waters, and I’m the writer behind <strong>The Girl with the Fang Shadow</strong>, a Young Adult, dark fantasy coming-of-age comic about trauma, survival, education, and the unseen forces that protect us. I’ve completed the master script for the 23-page debut issue, and I’m incredibly proud of how far this story has come. At the heart of it are Maya and Umbra: Maya, a young girl who survives a childhood car crash, and Umbra, her shadowy protector who emerges from that darkness. The journey began with an 8-page prologue, and now the full 23-page script is complete and ready for professional illustration—bringing us one massive step closer to opening doors with publishers and agents.

</div>
<div>Right now, the biggest obstacle is turning that finished script into a professional pitch package. As a new writer, I’ve learned that publishers rarely consider text-only comic scripts, which means I need to hire an illustrator to create the first 8 pages, along with concept art, so the project can be presented the right way. I can’t afford that out of pocket, and that’s why I’m asking for help. Where the Money Goes?
