Three Great Days at the Emerald City!
This weekend (Mar 30 - Apr 1) I will be attending Emerald City Comic-Con (in Seattle) for the first time. I'm pretty excited as I've heard a LOT of great things about it and they've put together a who's-who collection of comic book writers and artists (including people like Bill Willingham, Robert Kirkman, Tony Harris, fellow Canadians Bryan Lee O'Malley and Ray Fawkes, and talented young writers like Nathan Edmondson).
I will be at Table E-18 (floor map here) all weekend. The hours of the show are Fri (2-8pm), Sat (10 - 7) and Sun (10 - 5) at the Washington State Convention Centre.
I will also be conducting a workshop while at the show. The details are:How to Market Your Own ComicRoom: 201Time: Saturday, 5:00 - 6:00Kill Shakespeare co-creators Anthony Del Col and Conor McCreery discuss the creative entrepreneurship side of creating your own comic book. A sold-out workshop at numerous other comic conventions, they discuss how to court publishers, raise funding, generate publicity, and get your books into the hands of stores and readers. This workshop will allow you to turn your creative idea into a creative business.So if you're in the Seattle area please come on out to check it out - it'll be a great show for everyone!(Note: Kudos to those that knew that the title of this post is a reference of a song from the musical "Wicked"...)
