Writing Graphic Novels For Dummies

I’ve written and drawn a few kids book and couple of comic book stories and of course for the last 30 plus years I’ve been writing reviews both in print and online. I know a few things about writing.

I would never claim to be ranked as anywhere close to the level of authors of graphic novels. Still it would be nice to know how to go about writing graphic novels.

In Wiley Brand’s and author Kensuke Okabayashi’s Writing Graphic Novels For Dummies would-be graphic novel writers/artists will learn basic drawing exercises, how to create characters and stories and most important of all-balancing words and art.
