As of last week, I no longer work for Right Stuf, Inc., its retail operation, its anime labels, or 5 Points Pictures.

So many people caution others against making what they love into their primary occupation, but you know what?

I loved anime, manga, films, TV, books and music before I started working in the entertainment industry, and they may be even more precious to me now.

It’s been an honor to play a role in bringing some of the things I love to a wider audience.

Even more so, it’s been a privilege to meet and work with so many marketers, writers, creatives, colleagues and fans over these last six years. Many of you have become my friends, and I am thankful for that.

What’s next? Good question. I’m still figuring that out. (I’m open to suggestions… and relocation.)

In the meantime, please do:

• Keep an eye on this space. I suspect I’ll have more time to write and update the portfolio.
• Connect with me via LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and Google+.
• Stay in touch. It would mean a lot to me. I can be reached at “alison@” via both aligatorpop.com (all-purpose) and alrpr.com (professional inquiries).
