You Can Do a Graphic Novel

**Get that story out of your head and onto paper!**

*A guide to creating graphic novels- presented in the form of a graphic novel- from a veteran in the field!*

In *You Can Do a Graphic Novel* , Barbara Slate guides aspiring graphic novelists through the same process she learned in her early days working for Marvel and DC Comics-a process she has simplified for the classes she teaches and for the syndicated column she writes. Written in the form of a graphic novel itself, the book covers all the components and shows readers how to:

?Find their own drawing style regardless of ability

?Create memorable characters, compelling plots and subplots, and engaging dialog

?Traverse the graphic novel business
