Develop ideas for your own graphic novel with Francesco Sedita and Prescott Seraydarian.
This workshop is intended for young writers ages 10+ (participants 10 and over may attend unaccompanied by a caregiver). Registration is required.
Participants will work in pairs and focus on world-building, character creation, and story development, and then move into how to translate these ideas into a visual and graphic direction. Participants are sure to be surprised by what can be created with limited time and resources.
Participants will recieve a copy of The Pathfinders Society: The Mystery of the Moon Tower in advance of the workshop.
