“Unveiling the Unseen: Teresa Wong Explores the Extraordinary Depths of Everyday Life in Her Graphic Memoir”
The other thing I did before I sent the manuscript in to my publisher, because my editor was more of an editor for prose manuscripts, and I had confidence that she could read it as a story and tell me if things were off, and do line edits and that kind of thing. But I really wanted the input of a true comics editor, someone who made comics themselves and also understood how they worked. I actually hired on my own, a comics editor from Hong Kong. I think she’s originally American, but she lives in Hong Kong. Her name’s Kaitlin Chan, and she read through the manuscript and gave me lots of feedback on little things like shifting word balloons, so that they would look more in balance, but also larger things, like breaking down the panels in different ways. I found that super helpful. It made me a lot more confident going into the final draft before I sent it to my publisher, and it just validated a lot of the work that I did, too. Because if someone who reads a lot of comics and does it professionally as well thought it was working then, then I knew it was working.
