Join us Sunday, June 18 from Noon to 12:45PM for The Other Side of the Table: Lessons from Creators<\/strong> in Room 209 featuring Simon Bisley, Sean Gordon Murphy, Dan Parent, Emily Whitten, and Carolyn Belefski<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have an idea. You write, draw, and concept that idea into a comic book. But the work doesn’t end there. You have to either find a publisher or self-publish your work. We will focus on starting out in the comics industry as a small press writer and\/or artist. Once you have your first few books created and completed it is a good idea to get out and meet people and exhibiting is a great way to push yourself forward because creating your comic is only the first step. Are you a creator considering exhibiting at Artist Alley or Small Press comic conventions? This panel will give you tips and suggestions on how to create your professional appearances from the POV of being behind the table. We will discuss the metamorphosis from attendee to exhibitor, effective table display design, how to talk and interact with people at your table and how to generate sales with your table pitch.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
