PRO SE PRODUCTIONS ANNOUNCES LICENSING OF WELL KNOWN CON PERSONALITY-THE ADVENTURES OF PETER PIXIE IN 2015!
Pro Se
Known as an innovative publisher of Genre Fiction, Pro Se Productions once again pushes the boundaries of New Pulp with a new addition to its catalog. Not only does Pro Se add another licensed character to its list of properties, but this one actually exists in a sense. A popular Convention Master of Ceremonies makes his way from the convention circuit to the printed page in his own adventures in 2015. Pro Se Productions proudly announces that personality and celebrity Peter Pixie will be featured in two series beginning in 2015.
The entertainer known as Peter Pixie has worked in the Convention business since the 1980s. He has been everything from volunteer to Convention Chair. His love of conventions and all those people crazy enough to throw them truly shines through now that he serves as a Master of Ceremonies for numerous conventions, as well as other events.
As a professional Master of Ceremonies, he has had the honor and distinct pleasure of participating in some amazing events all round the country. Peter is a natural born entertainer. During times he is on stage he owns it and makes everyone happy they are there - the audience, guests, staff - every one! When not on stage, Peter goes to autograph lines to interact and entertain the attendees so they will not feel like they are attending a 'Line Con.’ He also mingles with attendees all weekend ensuring everyone is having a good time.
“Not only is Peter Pixie a great MC,” says Tommy Hancock, Editor in Chief of and Partner in Pro Se Productions, “but he in and of himself is a fantastic character. The backstory and ‘history’ that has been built around Peter- part fact, part fiction- not only make him a perfect character to adapt to prose, but he fits in well with what we’re doing at Pro Se. On one hand, Peter’s history is replete with heroism and adventure to rival many pulp heroes. And on the other, in his role as ‘Mayor of the Multiverse’- a role he was actually elected to by congoers- he is perfect as the lead in a series designed for our YoungPulp! line. And his message, one of self acceptance and individuality, is something that both series will represent and something that even Genre Fiction could use more of today.”
Pro Se is announcing that both series will be open for submissions in early 2015. Any authors interested in submitting for the all ages The Adventures of Peter Pixie for both short stories and full length works or in submitting for the YoungPulp! series, Peter Pixie: Mayor of the Multiverse!, may request bibles now by emailing submissions@prose-press.com. The bible for each will be available and sent to all who request them on January 1, 2015. Formal calls for each series will be made in January 2015 with details and plans for both.
“Super heroes and mermaids,” says Hancock, “and Pirates of all types. These and many other wild and wonderful characters populate the world of Peter Pixie. Combine that with the infectious nature that he imbues his character with and that is reason enough that Pro Se is more than pleased to welcome Peter Pixie to prose.”
“It is with tremendous pleasure,” says Pixie, “that I can finally announce that Pro Se Productions will be publishing a series of books with me as the central character. My message has always been to be yourself and live the life you want. It is my hope that these books inspire everyone who reads them to find the courage to take the chance and do just that. Look for the first one in 2015 and be safe when you can, but always be amazing!”
