World: “Graphic novels are so popular! Why don’t people just make a lot more of them?!” Me: (Working until 2am, 7 days a week for stretches over 15 years to make Amulet) “I think... I think I know why.” World: “Can’t you just work faster?” Me: “Literally, no.”

Amulet books 1-5 actually came out once a year. After a near death experience w/ bacterial meningitis & learning to live w/ limited abilities, they came out 2 yrs apart. After a second trip to the hospital, I decided to work at the pace of life so I can be here to do more books.

@boltcity Showed this to my daughter. She was disappointed. She was expecting it to come out in September, 2020. Probably because last four books came out every two years around that time.

Amulet 9 has been different than any book I have worked on before. It’s required much more information to be curated/compressed into the final product. Here’s a look at the amount of content created so far. This energy will be condensed into a small book that fits in a backpack.

I get asked about this a lot, so I’ll let you know that I completed Amulet 9. Currently working on extra materials & preparing files for print. It won’t be on shelves for quite a while. I will let Scholastic announce the release date before I do. Just know the story is complete.

I love that people are excited about Amulet 9, but I’ll note that graphic novelists, who both write & draw a book, are expected to work faster than novelists, and it’s tough to match that expectation w/ the reality of the work involved.

I don't spend much time on here letting people know to buy my books, but I'll just put it out there that a box set of 8 Amulet books costs as much as 1 video game and has a good track record of inspiring new readers to enjoy reading books into the future. Just sayin'... :)

Not surprising. As a 4th generation American of Asian descent I still have to explain to people that my books are not the same as Japanese manga. (Amulet is not even published in Japan) As long as you look a certain way, you will always be considered a visitor in your own home.

Entering into the final scenes for Amulet 9. As I thought, it’s the longest book in the series, though I think it will feel short to readers. Yesterday I felt sluggish writing, so I spent too long playing basketball at the gym. Legs are sore, but my mind has energy to work.

Amount of content created for Amulet 9 so far. Still only a quarter of the way in terms of inked pages done. Hundreds (thousands?) of pages of content will be distilled into 200+ final pages. Like film on the floor of an editing room, most of the material will go unseen.

If I produced books at the speed I can draw, I could probably do a book every 2-3 months, but they would be read once, put away, and forgotten. I have hoped to create sustainable stories, and that means they must encourage being read more than once and shared with others.

I draft thumbnail versions of every scene in Amulet an average of 9 times (sometimes 3, sometimes 30) which means writing/drawing 1800 pgs of roughs per 200 pg book. This is an answer to the common question: “if you can draw so fast, how come it takes so long to make a book?”

Starting to put together tour events for the release of Amulet 9: Waverider. Let me know if you are a retailer interested in having me travel through your town next year! Send a message and I’ll get back to you! Here is the book trailer for Amulet 9:

Closing out the year 2020 with a drawing of the Luna Moth on the 120th inked page of Amulet 9, after four pages inked for the day. Looking forward to 2021. Happy New Year, everyone!

Had a great time at ALA, Litapalooza and FollettCon this week! Thank you to all the organizers! Glad to see so many friends. On my way home now and signed a copy of Amulet 8 at Barbara’s Bookstore inside Chicago O’Hare Airport.

Yep. This is the one. Using geometric design as tension and force to imply the battle that is happening inside of the characters’ minds. Domu is a masterpiece.

This is the greatest fight sequence I've ever seen. Otomo uses perspective and complex background layouts to convey an invisible battle between two psychics. DOMU is too good to be out of print.

A new author photo, taken by my 6 year old daughter. We set up the camera, tripod and lighting together. She directed the pose and took the photos! More photos, artwork from Amulet 8, and author info at

I began working on Amulet in 1997, making it 22 years old- older than I was when I first started working on it. My next series in development is about 20 years old now, Copper is 17, Daisy Kutter is 15. The long arc of a project's history affords me time to make better decisions.

Currently working on Amulet 9. No release date yet, but we are working at a steady pace, and I’m doing my best to put as much energy and effort as I believe the last book in the series deserves.

@boltcity my daughter has read all 8 of your amulet books and we can’t seem to find anything on your final book #9 . Are you still going to release the last book and if so is there a rough idea when that would be? She loved the series by the way!!

My apologies to Amulet readers in Kennewick, WA. As you've probably learned, I won't be there next week & will be doing virtual sessions + personal drawings for every reader. I will, however, be focused on completing Amulet 9 in time to not delay it any longer. I'm almost there.
