How to Work with a Publisher to Bring Your Graphic Novel to Life is a seminar exploring the collaborative process between creators and publishers, led by Joseph Montange, VP & Publisher at Abrams ComicArts.

Key points include understanding the roles of publishers and editors, learning how to respond constructively to feedback while retaining creative voice, and seeing how projects are positioned for publication. By the end of this seminar, attendees will have a clearer grasp of the creator-publisher relationship and actionable steps for developing their graphic novel towards publication.
