Summary

Based on a true story, multi-hyphenate Amena Kheshtchin-Kamel’s debut graphic novel My Year as Emma is a timely story on staying true to who you are, no matter the consequences!

My Year as Emma is about a young Persian/Egyptian-American actress who changes her appearance and legal identity to a blonde white woman in an attempt to escape stereotyping and break into Hollywood, while struggling not to lose her cultural identity in the process.

We follow her journey as she navigates the Cannes Film Festival and enjoys all the perks that come with her newfound persona as Emma. Will she turn her back on her culture for her big chance at success, or will she stay true to herself?

Author Biography

Amena Kheshtchin-Kamel is a writer, producer, director, and actress who loves telling stories across multiple genres, with a special love for fantasy/science fiction and satire. As an Egyptian-Iranian-American woman, she has a soft spot for telling stories centered on women and draws inspiration from SWANA lore. Amena writes for TV, Film, and comics and has projects across the board.

Giulia Giacomino is an Italian comics artist and colorist. She is a graduate of the International Comic School in Turin.

Frank Cvetkovic (He/Him) is a comic book letterer who hates when people assume that all he does is put words in bubbles. There’s a little more to the job than that. For instance, sometimes he puts them in boxes. He currently lives in Cleveland, OH where the rivers occasionally catch fire and the city sometimes shuts down due to deadly swarms of balloons.
