Title: The Writer's Guide to the Business of Comics by Lurene Haines ISBN: 0-8230-5877-8 Publisher: Watson-Guptill Publications Pub. Date: 01 September, 1998 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $16.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4 (4 reviews)
Rating: 3
Summary: Doesn't really help much
Comment: It's well put together, but if you are in fact trying to break into the business, she basically says that you have to know someone, be it an editor or an artist, and that's notparticularly helpful, IMHO.
Rating: 5
Summary: It does what it says
Comment: Books about the technique of writing (plot, character, etc.) are very easy to find. This is not one of those kinds of books. This book is about the BUSINESS OF COMIC BOOKS.
As the author says, "This book is not designed to instruct you on how to develop your writing talents. Instead, I offer business advice and suggestions for honing those skills. I propose ways for you to find out where your abilities stand in relation to industry requirements...."
The author does an excellent job of telling you what to do AFTER you're fairly confident in your writing abilities. How should you format your proposals and scripts? Who should you approach at comic conventions, and how can you impress them? Should you send out unsolicited manuscripts? If you have writing skills, and the desire to write for comics, but don't know how to go about doing it for a living, then this is the book for you!
By the way, if you want a book on developing your writing talents, you'll get a lot more out of "The DC Guide to Writing Comics" by Denny O'Neil.
Rating: 5
Summary: A very good place to start!
Comment: This is an easy read and gives information only a true insider would know.
