Let me know when you'd like to have our live Q&A sessions! I do comics all day every day so it doesn't matter to me! Leave a comment if weekends are better but I think most people will prefer weekdays.

Are there special considerations to keep in mind when deciding if I should have the illustrations coloured? Is there a generally-preferred route when it comes to colouring v. black and white for single issues, and/or graphic novels?

Keep in mind that the Canadian and US governments offer grants for comic and graphic novel creators! Your local state and municipal governments may also offer grants Canada: - Canada Council for the Arts – Explore and Create Program: Provides grants to support the research, development, and creation of new works, including graphic novels. - Canada Book Fund (CBF): Supports the production and marketing of Canadian-authored books, which may encompass graphic novels. United States: - National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) – Grants for Arts Projects: Literary Arts: Offers project-based funding to organizations for public engagement with literary arts, including graphic novels. - National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) – Creative Writing Fellowships: Provides grants to published creative writers, enabling them to set aside time for writing, research, travel, and general career advancement.

In this video I walk through a Google sheet I created to help me price a comic and figure out what my return on investment will be after printing costs, distributor discount, advertising, royalties, etc. Download it here after watching the video.
