Hi Benjamin Leavens,

I just finished reading your story Ortiz Lane and I loved it so much. Your writing is amazing, and I kept thinking how cool it would look as a comic.

I really loved the scene in Chapter 3 where Hannah meets her first foster father at the veterinary convention. It was a poignant moment that set the tone for the story. It is ideal for making a comic as it introduces the protagonist's journey and the complex relationships she navigates in a visually compelling way.

I’m a commissioned artist, and I’d love to draw your story into a comic/manga. No pressure though, I just think your work would look awesome in comic form.

You can check out some of my recent work on my DeviantArt (Username - Ev3Verse). If you’re interested, please message me on Discord (Username - Eve_Verse) so we can bring the story to life visually. I'll be waiting to hear from you!

Regards,
Evee
