Brian Wood: The Art of The Proposal
Sunday, 12:00 to 2:00
Writer Brian Wood (DMZ, Northlanders, Local) offers a hands-on discussion and workshop on the finer points of preparing a comic book proposal, from thinking conceptually to structure and form to useful information on sending your pitch out into the world. Participants are encouraged to bring pre-existing proposals to the class, or be prepared to create one in the workshop. Writing materials or a laptop required. Brian Wood has twelve years experience creating comics, as well as several years in the video-game industry. Working almost exclusively on creator-owned projects, his insights into building a comic book project from scratch would be useful to any writer or artist looking to hone their craft. Strictly limited to 30 participants. $100.

This is an expensive seminar, but virtually all the money goes to the CBLDF (a couple bucks to NYCC for its overhead, and zero money to me), so it’s a worthy cause as well as hopefully a useful class. Click the TICKETS link for a list of the other seminars being taught.

Mr. Wood,
Is it true that you’ve announced your birthday on Facebook and MySpace?
I’d have to agree with Mr. Ellis, that you’re gonna get RAPED!!!
You have nobody to blame but yourself, if you do.
Old news, but yeah, I did. Interesting thing is, no one came that I wasn’t already real life friends with.

Oh, dear God, you’ve been buggered!!!!
With friends like yours, you’d probably better off with your enemies.
BTW, congrats on getting back the rights on Channel Zero.
Now, lets see some new stuff on CZ from you, eh?
Tom, you are the unparalleled king of commenting off topic!
Ok. I apologize for not living in New York.
Then I could go to the NYCC and maybe try the seminar.
Took a course in creative writing back in university.
Is that off topic enough for ya?
And you are the unparalled prince of not answering off-topic questions!
Did you ask me a question?
hundreds of ‘em, all hidden between the lines.
Are you planning anything new (or old) with CZ?
No plans. CZ is old to me, and I feel like anything I still need to say I can do in DMZ.
