About Us

Meet the Team

As you've most likely noticed, ACC Publishing Inkorporated isn't really a real company. It has one author. It self-publishes through online tools. (And yes, the last part is spelled wrong intentionally. It's a thing.) 

So what is ACC Publishing Ink? It's a kid, trying to follow his childhood dreams of creating stories, assisted by some friends crazy enough to help him on this weird adventure. There are three divisions- Purple, Pink, and Blue- which work with each other to produce fun and original new content and ideas.

C.M. Selbrede

Craig Selbrede
writer
Just updated these bios.
Craig Selbrede is a 21 year old attending Bates College. He tries to be sarcastic but doesn't always excel at it. For example: in a darker time he wrote the following:
Craig Selbrede is not actually a real person. In reality, he is a composite being, comprised of 10% bad jokes, 50% regret, and 40% television. Ever since he was young, he has loved to write and he is thrilled to have written and self-published his first novel, The Valley Chronicles. Craig is an avid reader of comic books who also loves the internet. 
What does that even mean?? Why did he think that was funny?? Pretty sure there should be way more TV in there and way less bad jokes. He doesn't even joke that much, man. 
Craig wrote The Valley Chronicles and plans to continue with the series. He expects it to be a trilogy, because three is his favorite number and also, plot reasons. Besides this, he writes, directs, and draws almost everything else in ACC Pub Ink. He plays ice hockey (not well) and enjoys acting and singing.

Lexxi   Skochinski

Lexxi Skochinski
Collaborator
Seems to know a lot of restaurant owners.
Craig's former hockey team manager, english table partner, and general confidante, Lexxi has a wide range of talents and hobbies including guitar, softball, theater, piano, art, and, as mentioned earlier, team management. Poised to major in Sports Management at FIT, Lexxi was also set to color Squirrel Academy before it went on indefinite hiatus, and is now working on developing another project with Craig.

​Lexxi is also fantastic at listening to Craig rant, which is good, because Craig often has a lot to rant about. Fun fact: she is also a twin.

Cristin  Von  SChlag

Cristin Von Schlag
Actor & Creator
Hard enough to get a hold of before she joined the Air Force.
Cristin Von Schlag is a goddess among humanity currently serving her country and diving at the Air Force Academy in Colorado, coming off successful careers as a Shodan in Budo Taijutsu (I don't know what this means but I know it's impressive. Google it.) and as a consistent leader in the Boy Scouts of America through their co-ed Venturing program.
​
Also a book lover and Brooklyn 99 fanatic, it was a miracle Craig got her as long as he did to co-star, co-write, and co-create two with him.

Olivia  Merryman

 Despite not knowing Craig at all, Olivia came onto two midway through production and carried it super hard, completely obliterating her sleep schedule to put together the 5+ hour first season with only limited help from Matt and Craig. Besides being a talented editor, Olivia participates in Circus and Krav Maga  and a number of other things that came in handy at surprising points in two.

Gaby Stratmann

Gaby Stratmann
Artist & Dancer
Is probably better than you at most things.
Imagine somebody literally good at everything. It seems impossible, and it probably is, but at least in Gaby Stratmann humanity has a person literally good at most things. Besides being a talented storyteller and artist with a sick new graphic novel in the works, Gaby is also a really good Irish dancer. I say really good and you're probably thinking "wow, she must be like just okay" but she has international titles and everything I swear.
Gaby created and illustrated the minicomic Twiggy: Flying Lessons set within The Valley Chronicles continuity and she blew it out of the water! She is also illustrating The Outsiders Club and ACC Publishing Ink can't wait to work with her again, and not just because she knows things like how female cardinals are not, in fact, red. The more you know...

​Check out her phenomenal work below!

Jenette Harris

Jenette Harris
Artist
ACCryptid
Craig has known Jenette since Junior Year when she and Jordan Lowman made World History AP a lot funnier, but, somewhat awkwardly, does not know much about her. He knows she's good at art, hence her ability to draw breathtaking covers for the Valley Chronicles, that she can sing, and that she is funny, but not much else. That is where Lexxi, Jenette's fellow hockey manager, comes in.

According to Lexxi, Jenette likes video games. She used to play soccer when she was like nine and has the best stories about it. Jenette also has a cute dog named Jedi. One time someone was so excited to see him, she accidentally punched Lexxi in the face and gave her a bloody nose.

Has a really cute dog.
Sophie Shen is really busy basically 24/7 yet she still somehow finds time to do all of her homework. Besides being an incredible artist, Sophie also volunteers with Man in the Mirror, plays tennis for her school's varsity team, and acts as an Officer-at-Large for her school's branch of Future Business Leaders of America.  She also has an Etsy which I have provided a very helpful button to below.

Sophie illustrated the original Valley Chronicles paperbacks.
