How to Break In to Comic Book Writing

Monday, July 7th, 2008 – running time 04:26

Have you ever wanted to write comics professionally? Josh shares some of the best advice he knows.

Breaking in to comics is no easy feat. Not only do you have to have chops, but you've got to know the right people. And if you can't draw, then you'll have to find an artist. Find out about resources like Digital Webbing, and the Xeric Grant. It also turns out that hanging out on message boards can actually be productive.

iFanboy wishes you luck, because you're gonna need it.
