Home: Writing for Comic Books: More

To Be Continued...

MORE TO COME--EVENTUALLY

I hope that you have found the information presented thus far to be informative, interesting, thought-provoking, and useful.  I will be uploading additional chapters as I complete them.  I have no set schedule in mind as I am writing them as time permits, and right now, I don't foresee having a lot of time to dedicate to this project.

Material that I do intend to cover in future chapters include, Full Script and Plot-First Method, Script Format, Common Comic Book and Film Terminology, Balloon Placement, Plotting for Self-Contained and for Long-Term Storylines, and Writing Proposals.

In the meantime, I am providing another PDF file for your reference here. It is a handout I created for my students on the subject of balloon placement. This is a subject near and dear to my heart as I've seen way too many people (writers, artists, and editors) who don't understand the flow of pages and place copy contrary to natural sightlines. The handout below covers just some of the theory.

If there are any areas you would like to see me cover, please feel free to e-mail me.  I may also compile a list of common questions and my responses to them as one of the future chapters, depending on the number of questions I receive.  Be advised that I am not accepting manuscripts/proposals/stories to be critiqued as I do not have the time to look at them. Thanks for understanding.
