Overview
How does a comic book or graphic novel get made? How many different people work on one book? What’s the process for creating a story and turning it into a graphic novel? Writer Stephanie Cooke will take you on a creative adventure, delving into ideas around the narrative building, illustration and steps to publication as she helps audiences explore the world of the comic book industry and sheds light on the process of writing a story from inception to completion.
TIFA Kids is generously supported by Founding Donors, Gail and Mark Appel.
