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.

In this session Paige will share her journey to becoming a graphic novelist.
