They are dedicated to publishing high quality books with strong story content."

Celina has also attended several comic book conventions with PFP including San Diego Comic Con and Small Press Expo in Maryland. "New York Comic Con is our next convention and I'm excited to meet the fans and professionals who will be there. This is the other part of my job that I really enjoy. I like meeting new writers and talking about new project ideas for PFP. One day I would love to be a part of the entire process of finding a writer or script and watching it come to fruition as a PFP comic or graphic novel."
