I'm Mel McKenzie - author and illustrator of the lgbt graphic novel, Hooked On You.

Lots of people dream of creating comics or graphic novels. If you're just starting out with a new idea and have never dabbled in comic creation or publishing - you have your work cut out for you.

When I first began my graphic novel, Hooked On You - I knew it would be a lot of work - but didn't realize just how much was involved and just how much of a commitment it would be.

Many creators work on side projects while working regular day jobs. If you are serious about making a graphic novel - understand that a lot of your free will be put into your project if you ever hope to reach that end goal.

If you're an artist planning to self publish your comic story, you probably want to save and money where you can. You can hire someone to help you with the editing and design, or try to take it into your own hands. Since you're an artist, you already have a eye for what's aesthetically pleasing, but just need a little help understanding how to setup and format an official manuscript that showcases your story. You're also probably curious about what exactly is involved in the self publishing process.

Over the years I've dabbled in self publishing and have learned a lot along the way that has enabled me to finally produce a graphic novel in print. A lot of trial and error has went a long way in teaching me how to streamline my workflow and avoiding wasting mistakes. (I've spent 4 hours just trying to submit a manuscript because I had my file formatted incorrectly!)

I'll walk you through the editing and document layout process while showing you how to publish your completed manuscript through KDP.

This class is NOT a how to make comics class (though I will show you a few helpful tips when creating art in digital files that will save you later).

This class focuses on the not-so-fun aspects of creating comics. Students will gain technical knowledge about page layout and design along with publishing basics to get them ready to publish their first comic book or graphic novel in print paperback format.
