I like the contractor analogy, but I also think if you are doing work for hire (whether is is siding or art or whatever), who the customer is needs to be taken into consideration. If I am an artist and Joe Schmoe wants to hire me to illustrate the cover of his comic, I understand that he likely...

No. That's not how it works. Again, no, that's not how it works. If an artist agrees to some character designs based on a particular fee, he/she is not going to quit working on them after 5 hours just because "time's up." I'm not trying to be flippant, but it's obvious you've never created a...

Exactly -- but creating a new design/character is not done when the writer hands over the script, and it's not something a writer/creator should expect an artist to do for free. (New) character designs should be well established by the time the project is ready to move to the sequential art...

Character design will have been taken care of well ahead of the sequential art phase. The normal course of business even for an indie book is that the creator (which we've established here is almost always the writer) will have character designs for reference, or first pay the artist to come...

It doesn't matter if it's a new character or if they have been drawn a million times before, what matters is if opening a can of soda is important to the story, The reality is that if you want to create a comic book, you should expect to pay your creative team a fair wage. Being a "writer" has...

Sorry, it's not true. At least for marvel and DC (perhaps not so much for indies), there is a very extensive creative team that starts with an editor, who is responsible for assembling said team. Which does in include more than one writer and one artist. That's not writing, that stage...

Hi everyone, I now have several collected issues of SHAMROCK available on Comixology: https://www.comixology.com/Shamrock/comics-series/85040 Print issues can also be ordered directly from me: http://www.uffdapress.com/

That's how The Martian was first published -- not on Wattpad but chapter by chapter on the author's website.

I currently have a comic serialized in each new issue of Fantasy Scroll Magazine, which is a bi-monthly publication. It runs six pages at a time, which does affect the storytelling. I need to tell a story each issue in those six pages, but I also need it to fit into the larger, overall story...

Pretty sure the horse was also (un)dead.

Part 5 & Part 6 are available, if anyone is keeping score...

Part 4 in issue #9! See the links on the page to read all 4 parts!

Simple answer: don't bother promoting a work in progress. Instead, concentrate on finishing the work, revising, polishing, etc.

American Gods is one of my all-time favorite books

Part 3 now available in issue 8!
