Thinking Outside The Box
Posted: September 1, 2011
“Did you say Comics?” The Society of Authors in association with Comica Festival have invited Sarah McIntyre (Vern & Lettuce, Morris the Mankiest Monster, You Can’t Eat A Princess) and I to co-host a lively panel discussion entitled Thinking Outside the Box, to talk about all the new publishing opportunities in comics and graphic novels aimed at children and young adults. Sarah and I will be joined by some of the leading UK creators and publishers of young people’s comics & graphic novels on Tuesday September 13th, namely:
Patrice Aggs (Count Karlstein, The Boss), John Aggs (The Boss, John Blake), Sally Kindberg (The Comic Strip Big Fat Book of Knowledge), Ben Sharpe (editor of new UK weekly comic The Phoenix), Lizzie Spratt (editor at Walker Books) and Andi Watson (Glister, Gum Girl).
Go here on the SoA’s site for more details and to book tickets at £10. It’s a great opportunity to learn about how to get your comics from idea to proposal and finished book and find a suitable publisher. It’s also a chance to meet and network with some key players in this growing field, nurturing future generations of comics readers and makers. See you there!
