Show Notes

Josh Flanagan is back with Andy Schmidt to bring you a weekly dose of advice on breaking into and making comics!

It’s all about the pitch! You’ve got a great idea? Then you’ll need to pitch it. That requires knowing who to talk to, how to talk to them, and figuring out what they want to hear. For some, it’s terrifying. Andy and Josh talk about the age old art of the pitch, and what that actually means in today’s comic book industry.

Running Time: 00:15:16

Andy is the founder of the online comic book school Comics Experience, as well as a former editor at Marvel Comics and IDW Publishing. Josh Flanagan has been working on iFanboy.com, talking, reviewing, and thinking about comics for over a decade, as well as writing and creating some of his own.
