We have a full slate of classes open for enrollment for January 2012 -- so why mention the Advanced Comic Book Writing course now, before it's even open for enrollment?The reason is simple: the Introduction to Comic Book Writing class is a prerequisite for enrollment in the upcoming Advanced Class. And January will be the last Intro class offered before the Advanced class opens for enrollment.
As soon as any Intro class ends, the first question we get is -- and we get it often -- "when will the next Advanced class be offered?"
Well, we generally offer the Advanced Courses only once a year...so if you want to join us for both Intro and Advanced Comic Book Writing in 2012 -- and you haven't previously taken our Intro course, NOW is the time to jump on board, before the Intro class sells out.
Make 2012 your year for pursuing your comics career!
Here's the full slate of courses for January:
Intro to Comic Book Writing will be taught by former Marvel and IDW Editor and writer, Andy Schmidt. During his time at Marvel, Andy worked on nearly every major character in the Marvel canon, and edited hit titles such as X-Factor, the Annihilation saga, Alias, and more.
At IDW, he managed major franchises like GI Joe and Transformers. He is also the author of the Eagle Award-winning book, The Insider's Guide to Creating Comics and Graphic Novels, published by Impact Books.
In this six-week course, not only will you learn comic book writing from a pro, but the course will be packed with practical, real-world advice on the industry and "breaking in" to help you pursue your career in comics! That's why Comics Experience alum, Nick Spencer, tweeted:
"For all aspiring comic pros asking for advice on craft/breaking in, I once again highly recommend Andy Schmidt's @ComicExperience courses."A few years ago, Nick had to move to New York City to take Comics Experience classes (check out his guest blog here to read that tale). But you don't have to move, now that the courses are online. This one will sell out fast!
