Writing for comics workshop at Kathleen Syme Library

Learn how to craft a compelling story for the visual medium of comics with Nathan Onias. We will discuss story structure, plot devices, and characterisation. Then it will be your turn to write a comic script from scratch!

We will begin with some ideation, before refining our concept and constructing the scaffolding for your own comic story.
