Write for Comics
There’s only one way to become a great writer. Write.
I'm sorry to say that there are no colleges out there for us aspiring
comic book writers. The best advice I can give you is to attend as many
English, Writing, and Journalism classes as your Local College offers. They
will provide
you with the basic knowledge needed to start you on your way to becoming
the next big thing.
“If you don’t know how to put your ideas on paper in a clear, concise and organized fashion, you are not a
writer,” asserts Marvel editor Axel Alonso, “All the writers I work with have that. Whether it’s a
newcomer like Daniel Way or Peter Milligan, you ask them to write a piece of prose, they know how to write it.”
Next, don’t limit yourself to just reading comic books. Though reading comics will definitely help, reading novels,
autobiographies and real life publications such as Newspapers and Magazines will help you take your writing to the next
level.
Last, don’t just copy what has already been done when you create your “hero” or “universe”.
As cool as Superman, Batman, and the X-Men are… they have already been created. Be original, it’s ok to take
some ideas from the legends, just don’t make a carbon copy.
Good luck! I look forward to reading your creation in the future!
