These are the two projects (one joint project, really) I really want to start working on. Resource packs, available online, with ebooks/pdfs/mp3s full of interviews and advice from writers and artists and sample scripts you can learn from, all beautiful and simple to read.
They’re what I wished existed when I started writing comics a couple of years ago, and what I could still really benefit from today. The Script Archive, an insanely useful tool for starting writers, has no scripts written by women. I run Queer Comics on twitter, and I know that resources for LGBT Creators are slim pickings too. They really shouldn’t be; the fact that so many webcomics are made by queer creators, and queer women really proves that.
You want to know people like you are out there doing what you dream of, and there is something special (I think) about feeling connected to them, their process, their journey, and their work. I thought the project up hoping to help give that feeling of connection and potential to anyone who’d benefit from it.
I’ve started putting together and requesting interviews and searching out people willing to donate script pdfs, but I don’t know yet if I can even afford to devote the time they deserve to get done — or if there are people out there who need this kind of thing the way I imagined. If you’re interested in the project, have any advice or insight to share, or are a comic writer interested in talking to me about your work, please signal boost and let me know! Is this something people want?
