Comics School: Making Comics - Creator-Owned Comic Teams

[@Ree_Emily]

Thank you for making this! I'm working on a creator owned project right now (as the whole team, oye) and this was really insightful. I understand your worry that people are going to take as "word of god," but there's very few resources for creator owned stuff online and I really appreciate it!

How do I find editors, artists,and letter's. My biggest worry is making sure everyone is payed enough. I want to at least see if I can find a publisher who at least compinsate everyone.

Good discussion, sir! I was so overwhelmed when researching contracts and other pre-production issues, it can really be daunting.

[@SpeerStudios]

This was great! Thank you so much. Loved the breakdowns and graphics. Incredibly helpful and insightful!

[@vermontmike9800]

Are there any publishers that will accept a graphic novel manuscript without art work? Will any company pair the writer up with the appropriate artist or does the creator have to do that themselves?

Great Video! Informative and Intriguing!

[@LouisPorterJr]

Great video and thanks for the financial breakdowns!

I have a question if you're willing to answer Jim. How do you handle the stress of juggling four comics and a day job? I feel like my current 9-5 just leaves me too exhausted and frustrated to work on just one comic let alone four.

I put together a whole video about your question, Steve. Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKKlXoGIf8eIbJo

Thank you! I know you say that profit splitting can vary but in the example when it says “50/50” is that for sold book royalties, book rights or both? Also would you recommend sharing 50% of the rights of a comic you wrote with an artist?

[@LuisGodoyIIArt]

You should offer rights to your artist as they come up with the visual of the story.
