So You Want to Write a Graphic Novel?

So You Want to Write a Graphic Novel?

On today’s episode we discuss comic books and graphic novels with author Rod Martinez.

This Week’s Question: What is your favorite graphic novel? One that was most influential, one that caught your interest, or just one that you've been following? Let us know!

Tips and Tricks:

  • When writing a graphic novel, don’t think like a novelist, instead try to think like a director in a play or a screenplay.
  • Storyboard your panels, keeping in mind that you’ll be working with an artist and you need to be clear on the vision you’re aiming for.
  • Seriously, clarity cannot be underscored enough.
  • When writing a graphic novel, lean into your strength, whether dialogue or exposition; both will help.
  • Querying a graphic novel or comic book is similar to querying a children’s picture book: some publishers just want the script only; some want the script and the art. Be sure to research.
  • Be. Patient.
  • The publishing timeline on comic books is variable.
