I’d love this to be under every comic reader’s tree this holiday.
Can you help spread the word with a share?

Things aren't looking super great right now, so if you have any art you need done, I'm very available. I've worked with Ahoy, IDW, Legendary, Oni, Image, and plenty of amazing indie writers. My portfolio is down below.

I'm hoping to expand my CV with work-for-hire gigs on existing IPs. If you are a comics publisher or editor looking for writers, please reach out at writerdakotabrown@gmail.com .
And if you've ever read and enjoyed my work, please share and let me know which IP you'd like to see me writer for.

The reviews have started! Thrilled to be able to pitch to some of the top horror producers working today, but I’d love to extend my reach with a film literary agent. If any of my mutuals/followers have any suggestions or connections to such, please reach out!

I’m pretty aware of time zone differences. As an east coaster, my rejection emails tend to come in at COB west coast time.
What I didn’t expect, was a call from a Hollywood producer wanting to chat about one of my comics during bubble bath time.
Few get that call.
Fewer get that call full naked.

Currently sitting at a pretty quiet con with pen in hand, but all in-progress scripts have been turned in/finalized. That means I need a new project.
If you’re a publisher or editor looking for a writer, please get in touch! I can start today.

I pick up a copy of Death Comes for the Toymaker written by @dakotabrown.bsky.social at Chattanooga Comic Con. This #graphicnovel looks so bad ass! I love the imagery and the idea of Death coming for Santa.
