August 27, 2026, 6:30 – 8:30 PM MDT
In recent years, graphic novels have taken publishing by storm. Lots of authors, especially in kid lit, are interested in writing graphic novels. But if you aren’t an artist, where do you start?
In this class, we’ll break down the pillars of sequential storytelling and the nuances of collaborating with an artist or art team to bring a story to life in a way only graphic novels can. We’ll explore the nearly endless limits of the versatile format while also learning about current trends and standards in the industry. Beyond understanding the mechanics of writing a comic script, students will also come away with a basic understanding of what self-publishing, working with a small press, or working with a traditional publisher is like for graphic novel authors.
