The Fort Worth Business Press profiles Shenanigans writer Ian Shaughnessy, who talks about how he got his start with Oni:
“They kind of took me under their wing, you might say, and by the time I had completed high school I was offered a summer internship at Oni Press in Portland, Ore.” says Shaughnessy. “One internship led to another, and although I knew that I wanted to write, more than to work as an editor, I enjoyed the experience a great deal — a real turning-point.
“I found a publisher that had dedicated itself to stories of a certain human dimension … and a publisher willing to provide not only a learning experience, but also a creative outlet.
“And that has been my real quote/unquote ‘formal education’ beyond high school,” he says, “although I won’t rule out the prospect of a college-degree plan. One of these days.”
You can find a 31-page preview of the book on Oni’s site.
