Comic Book Copywriting and Script Review

Fri, 28 Feb 2014 01:58:09 -0500

Great stories exude passion, are compelling, and engage the reader. This is achieved through finding the right balance between effective writing, vocabulary and narrative. Copywriting can be the single biggest challenge associated with launching a literary project; a lack of effective copy is a lack of an effective story. So, what makes us different from the thousands of copywriters and editors that are online?

We know, love, and understand effective copywriting for comic books. Our team has over 30 years experience in reading, reviewing, and understanding what makes a Comic Book or graphic novel great. Efficiency, placement, visualization and story-telling take on dimensions that simply do not exist in any other medium; these complex relationships need to be managed in an expert way to tell the best possible story with maximum impact.

1984 and the Public Domain

Fri, 10 Apr 2015 00:09:55 -0400

While I would go on to complete a degree in Economics, and later end up in Project Management, one of the most important aspects of my education came in Grade 12. Mrs. Boughner, an intelligent, tough, but always fair English teacher taught me a valuable set of skills: how to write, how to understand what you just read, and how to clearly express your position on something.

This class alone was probably the most important part of my high school education. As much as I still use these skills on a daily basis, it also did one other great thing for me - it introduced me to what is still one my favourite novels - George Orwell’s 1984.

What to include

We read everything ourselves, so the more you tell us up front, the faster you get a useful answer rather than a request for more information.

If you are submitting work

The title, the format — comic book, graphic novel, novel, novella — the length in pages or words, and whether it is finished. A short description of what the story is: two or three sentences, not a synopsis. And if there is a sample we can read, a link to it.

A person will read it. We are a small press, so that is a promise about care rather than about speed — a reply takes as long as it takes.
