SJS Comic Promotions Markets Book for National Distribution

Comic Promoter announces plans to market Sky Pirates of Valendor for national distribution.

Comic Promoter Susan Soares announced this week the detailed plans to market and promote the agency’s first title to achieve national distribution. Sky Pirates of Valendor, a 148-page fantasy graphic novel published by Free Lunch Comics, is scheduled for national distribution through Diamond Distributors and will be solicited in the August issue of Previews Magazine.

To market the graphic novel to readers across the United States, SJS Comic Promotions has confirmed two initiatives that will increase exposure and generate additional sales. Members of the creative team will travel across several states for in-store appearances in prominent comic book retailers. Along with talking to customers about the graphic novel, attendees can also expect complimentary sketches, exclusive artwork and an opportunity to purchase Valendor Chronicles, an anthology of short stories that offers readers a dynamic glimpse at the fantastical world of Valendor, its numerous races and rich history.

The schedule of appearances is as follows:

•   July 28, 2010 Friendly Neighborhood Comics, Bellingham, MA featuring Creator Everett Soares
•   July 31, 2010 Harrison’s Comics, Salem MA featuring Creator Everett Soares
•   August 7, 2010 Casablanca Comics, Portland, ME featuring Creator Everett Soares
