With the shifting landscape of the comics industry, this is your INVALUABLE guide to breaking into the comics industry.

Childhood Dreams Come True: Writing Licensed Characters
Saturday, 7/11/15, 4:00 PM-5:00 PM | Room: 30CDE

You want to write Spider-Man? Batman? Star Wars? Jem and the Holograms? So does everyone else! As a writer, you have to approach your work differently because you’re not just writing for you and your audience, but also for editors and project managers and a company. We’ve all heard the horror stories from creators, but it doesn’t have to be that way. With the right approach, it can be fantastically rewarding. Join Andy Schmidt (Avengers, Transformers), Joshua Williamson (Captain Midnight, Predator, RoboCop), David Marshall (Star Wars), Mike Costa (Spider-Man, G.I. Joe), and Charles Soule (Death of Wolverine), for a look from both sides of the desk—what is the company looking for, and how to navigate licensed characters as a writer.

Closing the Deal: Everything you Need to Know About Publishing Deals and Contracts
Saturday, 7/11/15 | 8:00 PM-9:00 PM | Room: 30CDE

Your project is going to make millions of dollars—but you have to sign this CONTRACT first—yikes! Join Andy Schmidt (Comics Experience, Marvel, IDW Publishing) and Joe Sergi (The Law for Comic Book Creators) for an in-depth look at comics contracts! What are they, how they work, and what you need to be looking out for when you get one!

A full programming schedule for the convention is available online here. See you in San Diego!
