Publishing on Your Terms for Your Benefit

Room 300C

As contracts become more stringent in story/character control and as corporations are bought by larger and larger entities, modern comic book creators are constantly looking for ways to build a fanbase while keeping their narrative integrity intact. When a story is close to your heart, how can you ensure the indie and/or self-publishing routes benefit both your creativity and the consumer at the same time? Arthur N. Ebuen (writer/producer/director, Studio 12-7), Justin Giampaoli (writer/editor/critic, Thirteen Minutes), Barbra Dillon (editor-in-chief, Fanbase Press), Dave Law (artist, Art of Dave Law), Jessica Maison (writer/director/publisher, Wicked Tree Press), and Marcus McNeal (editor-in-chief, Odyssey Comics) discuss the many hats you need to wear as an independent creator, how small press is being recognized by the industry as a whole, and what practical tips and strategies new creators need to see their important ideas printed on the page.
