Marketing

With the fine effort of the first OSM graphic novel completed, the question comes up of getting the word out. Several weeks ago, I entered a local comic book/gaming shop and inquired if they had heard of the OSM book and if they were going to offer it. The shop owner gave me a dumbfounded look. I told him to check out the website, but more needs to be done.

In addition to grassroots efforts, it would be beneficial if those "higher up" could be contacted as well. While I understand that the OSM franchise has to show some success (e.g., graphic novel sales, good reviews, considerable fan interest) before other things (movies/cartoons, etc.) can occur, it may help speed up the process if some "bigwigs" in the entertainment industry can be introduced to the OSM concept and shown the graphic novel.

Who knows...perhaps some prominent person of influence remembers playing with the OSM all those many, many years ago...
