Brian Wood: The Art of The Proposal
Sunday, 12:00 to 2:00
Writer Brian Wood (DMZ, Northlanders, Local) offers a hands-on discussion and workshop on the finer points of preparing a comic book proposal, from thinking conceptually to structure and form to useful information on sending your pitch out into the world. Participants are encouraged to bring pre-existing proposals to the class, or be prepared to create one in the workshop. Writing materials or a laptop required. Brian Wood has twelve years experience creating comics, as well as several years in the video-game industry. Working almost exclusively on creator-owned projects, his insights into building a comic book project from scratch would be useful to any writer or artist looking to hone their craft. Strictly limited to 30 participants. $100.

This is an expensive seminar, but virtually all the money is donated to the CBLDF (a couple bucks to NYCC for its overhead, and zero money to me), so it’s a worthy cause as well as hopefully a useful class. Click the TICKETS link for a list of the other seminars being taught.
