    Hey Brandon, you’ve mentioned you run a studio now but what’s the process of actually making a studio? Like do you have a office you rent? Did you hire someone as head of marketing so you could focus strictly on writing? Does the studio focus on producing projects that are published by a label? Also thank you so much for all these insider secrets, tips and tricks 🙏🏽 I’m rooting for you!

    Durring my Junior highschool years the first manga that i read was Naruto vol 1. I got in to anime when I was only 12 and i remember watching episodes DBZ Kai and Pokémon all the time. College has changed my life and now I'm currently working at my job not everyday but usually it’s not to busy. I enjoy using Clip Studio Paint and Procreate it’s a great way for me to practice sketching and experimenting. My goal is to publish my work someday and hopefully make my anime projects. Thank you so much for telling your story. It gave me so much hope and motivation.🙏🏾 Have a great day

    What is your opinion or advice on those publishing their work on honeyfeed or jnovel for those wanting to break into ln or manga industry like you

  • @ReeceG231

    In my opinion j-novel has the advantage of being owned directly by KADOKAWA so your chances of legit breaking in are much higher with them especially with KADOKAWA showing more interest in international creators. Honeyfeed is way to much of a crapshoot. Their community is super insulated and their contest is biased as f*ck with literally zero results or publications for their winners. I would not sign any contract with them until they actually get some proven results with all the authors they've already signed OR at the very least gain a readership on their website.
