Are you a writer or comic artist? Are you interested in learning more about publishing? Join us for this conversation about the state of the comics publishing industry.Twenty years ago, comics were only available in dedicated comics stores. Today, you can find them on the shelves at bookstores, schools, and libraries –– the industry has changed in dramatic, significant ways. So what's happening with graphic novels and comics publishing today? What should authors know about when they work towards getting their books on those bookshelves? Publishing staff people, from editorial to sales and distribution, discuss the state of the industry today, and what's coming next. This program is moderated by Brigid Alverson (Publishers Weekly, ICv2).
