Write Your Own Graphic Novel 
by Natalie M. Rosinsky

In recent years graphic novels have become a more popular art form. Many people simply shrug them off saying they are just comic books in book form, but wouldn't you just love to have been the person who created the memorable character Spiderman? This book is not a "how to draw" book, but rather one that will help the budding artist put together his/her material in a cohesive form. The only extra ingredients needed in this formula to success are a bit of talent and some motivation.

This book is packed with examples from successful graphic novelists and has a lengthy list of novels in the last chapter. A continuous personal time line encourages the student and gauges the reader's progress. Chapters include: Getting Started, Setting the Scene, Characters, Viewpoint, Synopses and Plots, Winning Words, Scintillating Speech, Hints and Tips, The Next Step and Find Out More. There are numerous illustrations and "tips and techniques" to help the novice artist and/or writer of a graphic novel.
