Writing for Comics Education Series

 

Whenever I teach a comics workshop, one of the most frequent questions I get is about how do I write my comics?  My response is which kind?  As a strong believer that one ought to write specifically with their medium in mind, whether it be novels, movie screenplays, or Broadway musicals, I also find true that one should approach writing single-panel gags, comic strips, and long form comic narratives differently.  So, I've created this workshop series to address each individually.  I've set up the workshops so students can register for each workshop individually, or get package discounts for registering for multiple classes.
