Course Description: Story in Graphic Forms*

Story in Graphic Forms*

55-4300

This course covers writing for comics and graphic novels: Forms and formats similar to but unique from those of narrative prose, screenwriting, and storyboarding. The full script and plot outline styles of major publishers are explored and practiced. There's an emphasis on research to enable the writer to translate the envisioned image into words for artist and audience. Business aspects such as submissions, working within publishing cooperatives, and self-publishing are presented.

Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
