You don't have to be an artist to make the next Batman or Persepolis. You just have to know how to write, attract artists, and make the world notice. Learn how to write a graphic novel script that will attract editors and agents. We'll show show you the entire graphic novel writing process, from devising a proposal and writing word balloons to surviving Comic-Con International and handling Hollywood. You'll learn how to express your ideas -- whether they be intensely personal or compellingly commercial -- through the graphic-storytelling medium. No drawing ability is required.
In this class, you will learn how to:
  • Develop ideas for a great story 
  • Structure a story 
  • Write effective dialogue 
  • Connect with the right artist 
  • Avoid a beginner's creative and career missteps 
  • Get the green-light from an editor
By the end of class, you will have:
A first draft of your script and an understanding of how to get it sold. 
The online classroom has several components:
  • Lessons: Learn new skills through video-based lessons
  • Discussions: Join a weekly live, interactive discussion via IM and video
  • Assignments: Complete homework and receive instructor feedback
  • Forums: Exchange resources, meet peers, and ask your instructor questions
