Ellen Stedfeld
Art Director
Ellen began attending Pronto in early 2011, roped in as an artist who could draw with a manga look. Impressed by the group’s passion for comics and determination to make them, she’s been involved ever since, now taking on the role of Art Director and acting as an extra set of eyes for work in development. She wants to support fellow artists in doing their best work and growing their skills, and confidently believes the collaboration and camaraderie of Pronto can give active creators the boost they need to make that possible.

Leah Hansen
Associate Editor
Hey guys,
I’ve written to you before (without much success) so I thought I’d try again. As a lifelong comics fan–and a writer/editor for Charlton Comics, Red Moon Features and comicmonsters.com (as well as downing a cup of coffee as a contributor to DC’s Amazing World of DC Comics magazine)–I’d be very interested in hooking up with your group as a writer, editor or whatever. Please e-mail me (it’s the best way to reach me nowadays) if you’re interested. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks for your time and consideration.
