How DO you judge a graphic novel?
Posted: January 17, 2012
This Saturday, January 21st at 2pm, I’ll be in at the University of Sussex in Brighton to host a lively panel discussion entitled ‘Judging a Graphic Novel’ with Hannah Berry, ILYA, Ian Rankin, Corinne Pearlman & Bryan Talbot, five of the six-person jury of Myriad Editions’ First Graphic Novel Competition (Steve Bell is absent as he is on his hols). Submissions were requested for between 15-30 pages of a graphic work in progress, fiction or non-fiction. Most of the seven shortlisted finalists will be there and will present and read extracts from their projects, before the panelists discuss the judging process.
The finalists are:
A Rat’s Tale by Adam Blackman & Dylan Shipley
The Black Project by Gareth Brookes
Dryland by Con Chrisoulis
Naming Monsters by Hannah Eaton
Amber Sands by Tom Eglington
The Enlightenment of Iwan James by Thom Ferrier
The Facts of Life by Paula Knight
Nobody will know who has won until the day itself, when the winner will be announced at the First Fictions Festival. Join me for this exciting event, and check out other comics events over this weekend with Bryan and Mary Talbot, Nicola Streeten and Nye Wright. You can book tickets via PayPal here.
