Mickey Mikkelson
In 2006, Mickey Mikkelson began his work in the literary and bookseller industry as the Special Events Manager for Chapters/Indigo, Canada’s largest bookstore chain, in St. Albert, Alberta. Ten years later, he formed Creative Edge Publicity, an aggressive publicity firm that specializes in advocating for both the traditional and independent author and artist. Since founding Creative Edge, Mickey has signed some of the top talents in the literary industry, including multiple award-winning authors, New York Times and USA Today best-selling authors, and successful independent authors, many of whom have become international bestselling authors while working within the Creative Edge brand. Mickey is also a strong advocate in education and an avid collector of comic books. His ‘dream project’ would be to arrange an international movement about educating kids about the importance of reading, specifically comic books as a medium with a focus on storylines and art analysis, and touring schools with key artists that would benefit the literary industry as a whole.
