Comics / graphic novel writing workshops with Selina Lock and Jay Eales

BFS members Selina Lock and Jay Eales will be running a series of workshops entitled “Starting to Write Comics and Graphic Novels” for Writing School Leicester.

Course information:
“If a picture paints a thousand words, then the hybrid comics medium has the best of both worlds. Call them graphic novels, funny-books, bande dessinee or manga, we’re talking about comics.Through group discussion, we will examine the ways the medium can be used to tell stories in different genres, and some of the tricks of the trade. Students will learn the basics of comic script writing through a series of exercises, and receive feedback on their own scripts. Other topics include collaborating with artists, submitting to publishers, and alternative publishing options.”

Length: 5 sessions from 20 September 2012
When: Thursdays 7pm – 9pm
Price: £60
