DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE ON A DEADLINE: Comics and Graphic Novels Editing Workshop

Experience editing decisions and conflicts through in-class and at-home editing challenges. You’ll look at classic published stories, raw scripts, problematic art, where you’ll have the chance to see what you would have done with it—and what ended up in the printed comics! Registration: $699.99 US.
