Raina Telgemeier, a graphic novelist that is so famous, she can go by just her first name—Raina. Raina’s work helped revolutionize graphic novels as we know them, cementing their place in schools and bookshops. And she did that by just being herself and following her passions, as you will soon learn directly from Raina herself. I can’t imagine the graphic novel landscape without her. And as one of my oldest pals in this book industry, I can’t imagine not having her as somebody to lean on as we have all navigated these careers we have in comics. I am proud to present to you—Raina Telgemeier’s Origin Story!
