Graphic Novel Proposal Workshop Series

Want to create a graphic novel proposal that catches the attention of literary agents and publishers? This workshop series with literary agent Maria Vicente will take you through each step of creating a pitch package for your graphic novel project. At the end of the series, you will have a submission-ready proposal to share with publishing industry professionals.

The Graphic Novel Proposal Workshop Series includes four classes on Zoom and a professional critique of your complete graphic novel proposal. This workshop series is interactive and collaborative, so you can ask all your questions about the publishing industry and receive specific guidance at each stage of creating your graphic novel proposal.

  • Interactive Classes: Ask questions along the way in a classroom-style workshop series. Registration is limited so everyone has the chance to ask their questions and receive specific guidance.

  • Personal Feedback: Your workshop registration includes a critique of your graphic novel proposal materials from literary agent Maria Vicente.
