Latest Batch of Xeric Recipients

One of the Great Things In Comics, the Xeric Foundation, announced the latest recipients of its donation designed to encourage self-publishing by making self-publishing possible on a specific project. Some figures via the PR:

* Total Given Out: $25,606 to six projects.
* Total Given Out (Lifetime): $1.75 million (includes the charitable donation portion of the Foundation)
* Next Deadline: January 31, 2007
* Next Review Date: March 1, 2007
* Web Site

Grant Recipients:

* Joel White -- Bronzeville
* Gregory Corso -- And How
* Aron Nels Steinke -- Big Plans
* Toc Fetch -- Kids of Lower Utopia -- V6 No 1 -- Of Softdoor Scout Finnagain and Daffodil Dash Eleven
* Joshua Hagler -- The Boy Who Made Silence
* James Vining -- First in Space

I took one look at the name "Gregory Corso" and decided not to google links for fear it would drive me insane. Sorry. Heidi did, though.

Also: Vining's book was subsequently picked up by Oni Press, so he will apparently not use grant funds.
