Writing Comics!

I haven't tried to write a comic/graphic novel script for someone else, yet. The format is COMPLETELY different than every other type of writing, and honestly, I'm not yet up for learning yet another format well.

Here are a few links to guidelines, for those that are interested:




As you can see, they're sort of an entity unto themselves. Each panel is described in terms of character, place and action, with dialogue as needed. Since I like to draw, I may do one of these myself and post the sorry example if we're interested in persuing this further.

    You are most welcome! I've been a comic book fan for years, just never went after it (yet).

    Each publisher should have their submission guidelines on the website.

    Scott McCloud's books are the BEST for understanding the world of graphic storytelling. They're available pretty much everywhere.
