Steve Colle
Steve Colle has worn many hats in his 30+ years in the comic industry:
Retailer; Writer; Submissions editor; Editor-in-chief; Freelancer; Art director; Creative and business consultant; Instructor to creators, editors, and publishers; Founder and administrator of the comic editor-centric Comic Book Editors Alliance; and finally, Mentor.
Steve believes that his success comes from the successes of his students, clients, and creators. This drives him to always strengthen and support others, both in this industry and in all of his life dealings.
Chelsea Crutchley, creator of STRAY SOD (http://comic.chelseacrutchley.com/comic/issue-1-print-cover/), shared her thoughts:
“I had been self-publishing my comic for three years, and believed it was as good as I could make it. Steve’s suggestions not only fine-tuned my panels, they also make me more conscious of choices I make in future pages. His insights into the industry have also helped me focus my energy on more specific goals. Not only is my current project improving, but with his help I am developing new skills and confidence as a creator.”
