The email reads;

Hello,

I wanted to let you know about a project that was launched last week that may be of interest to you and your readers.

Talenthouse has partnered with internationally acclaimed comic book artist Jim Mahfood, and comic book publisher Graphic.ly, to discover aspiring illustrators and graphic novelists who want to bring their original characters and comic book ideas to fruition.

Artists are asked to simply submit three pages of their original comics to:

In exchange they receive the chance to see their comic published and featured on Graphic.ly and also the rare opportunity to pick the brain of Jim Mahfood during three private mentoring sessions.
