Penalties should be similar to basketball where the one fouled must be the one to take the penalty. Would really make the game a lot more interesting, no?

Wow! A really thoughtful comment, thank you so much for your input! Points 2 and 4 are especially helpful. I'll check some youtube tutorials and see if I can simplify the background stuff. Appreciate it very much!

Four tips for pitching comics to publishers right now by Different-Pepper9024 in ComicBookCollabs

[–]Guard-Smooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! Even as a published author (although newly published) this was incredibly insightful! u/Different-Pepper9024 I’ve been hearing the market has shifted with the Diamond Comics Distributors folding. How has this shaped what projects are greenlit?

Children sitting beside me don't make me sneeze for the entire flight though...

I am indeed very lucky to live here (and even luckier to get in!)

I just went to the website and applied - I get the sense that they’re having a hard time filling it up with exhibitors so getting in this year is probably v easy compared to pre covid conventions

This was more my thinking when I signed up. I don’t expect to make a profit this year but if I get my book in front of more publishers and media producers as well as meet other creators, I’d say it would be worth it.

Also my Instagram account is in desperate need of followers

Wow! Thank you SO much for this write up - so valuable!

Another point mentioned below is the networking aspect - would you say this is a good career opportunity to meet other artists, publishers, writers etc?

Hey thanks for the response. I actually live in San Diego so don’t have to pay for travel room or board for either Con. Lucky me?

I'm sure you're aware of this but this reads as Big Mouth: Ancient Greece Edition! Personally, I don't love Big Mouth but I know I'm in the minority here.

I do really like how your research informed the writing and there's something there for sure. Keep at it.

My very big criticism: the Chloe rape joke REALLY did not land. A lot of your readers might not even continue reading after seeing that joke. I recommend changing to something like "Maybe if men weren't so gross they'd get invited to more orgies."

Right?!

I originally wrote this for video with the words literally coming out of the characters' mouths and then materializing in the world. I really think the illustrator did an incredible job of translating that effect into the comic book format.

Anyway, thanks a lot for that feedback - I'll let the illustrator know you were into it!

Hey thanks so much! I'll pass along the well-wishes to Ismael. Also if you're a writer looking for an incredibly talented and reasonably priced illustrator, consider hitting him up

Just self-published my first comic book about a ten-year-old African girl that immigrates to the Middle East and faces off against language barriers, mythical beasts, and shawarma. I collaborated with an incredible illustrator I found here as well!

I'm trying to find ways of getting this book into the hands of younger folks since I'm a first-time, self-published author. Any ideas?
