Writing graphic novels for middle grade
Writing graphic novels for middle grade
May 17, 2025 3:45 PM 5:00 PM Hudson Room
What is middle grade? What do publishers look for? How do you write for kids? And what
exactly is a graphic novel—and should you write one? Let’s explore the fastest-growing
category in publishing: graphic novels. Once dismissed as simply “comic books” and even
banned in classrooms, graphic novels have emerged as a powerful storytelling medium. Today,
nearly every publisher has a graphic novel division, and Hollywood regards them as the new
screenplay. Join Royden Lepp as he shares his journey in this dynamic space and reveals how
he creates his bestselling series.
This workshop is also offered on Sunday.
