Celebrating Graphic Novels with Faith Erin Hicks

JOIN US VIRTUALLY for a FREE three-day digital graphic novel extravaganza!

Ever wonder how a graphic novel is made? Join host Kevin Sylvester for three interactive virtual author visits featuring Canadian graphic novelists from coast-to-coast and learn how a graphic novel goes from a seed of an idea to a published book you can hold in your hands.

What to Expect:

Watch as these professional creatives showcase their latest stories. Follow along as they demonstrate their methods and styles of writing and illustrating. Stick around to the end for a Q&A! 

These sessions are perfect for children ages 6-12, but anyone interested in this form of storytelling will enjoy a peek behind the curtain on graphic novel creation.

Each author session will go live at 9:15 AM EDT and be recorded for replay. The presentation recordings will be available on-demand for one week following their upload. Pre-registrants will receive a link to the recordings once they are processed and available on our YouTube channel to rewatch or watch on your own timeline.
