Learn How To Write a Comic Book at NYFA

Since the earliest cave drawings, people have told stories through sequential art. Comic books are the latest incarnation of this art form — and are hugely popular in Japan (as manga), in Korea (as manhwa), in Europe, and in the Americas. Now more than ever, comic books and comic book writing hold a significant place in entertainment, film, and culture. The relationship between a panel in a comic book and a shot in a film is self-evident, and through transmedia, the two storytelling mediums are more and more interlocked.

In this 15-Week Online Writing For Comic Books Workshop, individuals with a passion for comic books and storytelling can learn the basics of comic book writing, both in plotting and writing a comic book script, as well the different types of script formats.

Workshop DescriptionWorkshop Name: 15-Week Online Writing For Comic Books Workshop

During this online workshop, students can learn how to write a comic book and explore related topics including the different types of script formats, proposals for submission to editors, the different forms for the medium (from manga to comic books to graphic novels to webcomics), as well as the proper use of dialogue and sound effects. Many students complete this workshop with a proposal for a graphic novel, manga or comic book series, and the script for the first issue or chapter of that project.
