Having been told by young readers that they were bored by the "classics", Classical Comics set out to make the greatest works of literature as energetic and colorful as Spider-Man. With its new series of graphic novel adaptations of literary classics, the UK-based Classical Comics has succeeded in bringing them to life, with striking full-color artwork depicting the drama, emotion and action in an exciting, captivating way.  With global literacy levels in schools, and among graduates, at an all time low, Classical Comics has devised a revolutionary three-tier dialogue approach as an invaluable classroom teaching tool. Each book is published in three versions: Original Text – the full, unabridged script; Plain Text – a modern English version of the original script; and Quick Text – with reduced, simplified dialogue for easier and faster

I enjoyed working with Classical Comics as a freelance writer/editor to provide US-specific English translations for the "Plain Text" and "Quick Text" versions (including the Teacher's Study Guides).  It is very satisfying to play an active role in bringing Classical Comics' award-winning line of books to the States. My work on HENRY V and A CHRISTMAS CAROL are NOW AVAILABLE .  I hope to do more in the future.
