Read about the series and the series editor, Frederick Luis Aldama, in the Columbus Dispatch and on the Melville House blog, MobyLives

This series showcases graphic and comic books—graphic novels, memoir, nonfiction, and more—by Latinx writers and artists. The series brings on projects with any balance of text and visual narrative, from larger graphic narratives to collections of vignettes or serial comics, in color and black and white, both fiction and nonfiction. Projects in the series  take up themes of all kinds, exploring topics from immigration to family, education to identity. The series provides a place for exploration and boundary pushing, and celebrates hybridity, experimentation, and creativity. Projects are produced with quality and care, and exemplify the full breadth of creative visual work being created by today’s Latinx artists.

For more information about the series or submitting a manuscript or proposal, please contact Editorial Director Kristen Elias Rowley at madcreekbooks@osu.edu.
