I'm William “T” Campbell, a writer, educator, and editor with a lifelong love of comics and storytelling. I’ve scripted and edited thousands of pages across mystery, high fantasy, teen comedy, spy romance, science fiction, and anime-style martial arts, and I’ve written and adapted work for publishers like Seven Seas, Marvel, and Tokyopop. I work solo and with teams to produce comics websites, develop freelance content, and guide projects from concept to publication. I'm capable of working with and without AI writing tools, adapting to a market where some clients insist upon their use and some upon their exclusion. Beyond comics, I’ve published fifteen books, including some on comics and wordplay. I teach and mentor through Substack and other platforms, and I’ve built a career blending writing, editing, and production across traditional publishing, webcomics, and media development.
