The Ink and Paint Folk Podcast
TV & Film
Welcome to the Ink and Paint Folk podcast- a look at animation through the women and non-binary folk who make it!
Hosted by Cassie Soliday.
Today’s guest is author-illustrator Nilah Magruder!
Making her living with both art and words, Nilah created M.F.K, a middle-grade graphic novel based on her webcomic, and winner of the Dwayne McDuffie Award for Diversity and a picture book called How to Find a Fox. Her writing has appeared in anthologies as well as in projects for Disney-Hyperion, Scholastic, Penguin, and Marvel Comics- one comic of which starred Tippy Toe, Squirrel Girl’s animal sidekick- loved it so much! Also, Nilah created Spider-byte, Margo Kess, for the Spiderverse!
Needless to say, we have tons to talk about! From working in animation storyboards to transitioning into publishing.
