How to Launch Your Graphic Novel – Free Masterclass
June 20 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EDT
***Website sign up has closed. If you want to attend this masterclass live you can join our community here and find the event in the KCU event listings. We will post the replay next week.***
A free masterclass taught by Janna Morishima, designed for creators launching graphic novels and illustrated books for kids and teens—whether you’re working with a traditional publisher, self-publishing, or crowdfunding with a platform like Kickstarter.
You’re making a great book. You have a publication or launch date.
But how do you get the word out about it? How do you get people to support you and, most importantly, BUY it?
Getting your story into the world shouldn’t feel like a mysterious black box—or a second full-time job.
This masterclass breaks down what you need to know to launch your kids/YA book or comic effectively.
Whether your book hits shelves in a couple months… or you’re 1 to 2 years out, this class is for you if you want to:
- Avoid Burnout: When you have lots of things to do and not a lot of time
- Be Resourceful: Identify what works even when you have very little money
- Stay Authentic: Promote yourself and your book (even if you’re an introvert)
This masterclass is the kickoff to a deep dive course: How to Launch Your Graphic Novel. It’s a 6-week live bootcamp, taught by Janna beginning on July 7th!
We love it when people submit events in the kidlit comics community.
