How to Write for Comics with Joe Kelly

Joe focuses on the engines of serialized storytelling: Motivation, Theme, & Cast Building - with a dash of the more granular elements such as panel count, ATP (across the page), and collaboration with an artist.

How to Think with Steven Appleby

Steven Appleby follows the thread of reality and lived experience that runs through all his ideas, writing, comic strips and creative work - however surreal - culminating in his latest book, the graphic thriller Dragman. He explores - with exercises and thought experiments - where ideas come from; creating characters and imaginary worlds… bringing them to life by underpinning them with real lived experience so they feel and become ‘true’.
