"...an up-and-coming writer that's doing it right."

That's how Jason Rodriguez, editor of Postcards: True Stories That Never Happened, recently characterized me.

I like to think he got it right, because I love writing comic books. There's nothing I enjoy more than working with a talented artist to bring a story to life.

So far, I've had the pleasure of crafting stories with fantastic artists such as Juan Romera, Renzo Podesta, Noel Tuazon (of the Harvey-nominated Elk's Run), and Marvin Mann (of the also-Harvey-nominated The Lone and Level Sands).

If you're an artist who is as passionate about telling stories as I am, I'd love to talk to you. The stories I write are generally real-world, character-driven drama – except when they’re zany retro comedy or high-concept summer blockbuster or creepy horror or something else that tickles my creative fancy! Heck, I’ve even got a couple of superhero stories in me, given the right artist.

In the last year, I've had stories published in 803 Studios' Sequential Suicide anthology and Frameworks: A Study in Sequential Art. Last fall, I managed to pull off the mythical Negative Burn hat trick, in which I had stories published in three consecutive issues (13 - 15) of the Eagle, Eisner, and Harvey Award-nominated anthology.

At the moment, I'm working on stories with Mario Cau and the aforementioned Renzo Podesta that will hopefully be published in Negative Burn and elsewhere later this year.

I'm also on tap to have stories published in Postcards II: California Dreaming and an anthology titled Dear Santa, Let Me Explain... that James W. Powell, assistant editor of Postcards, is putting together.

So, that's the January 2008 version of "Who is Elton Pruitt?" Thanks for stopping by, and for more, visit:
