Fenway Writes Comics

Fenway Writes Comics is a five week comics and graphic novel writing course for adults, ages 18 to 100. Cartoonist and art educator Kurt Ankeny (In Pieces, Pleading with Stars) will lead students through the process of writing for a graphic medium. Comics are a very accessible medium for readers, and especially good at making stories from daily life compelling. Is there a family anecdote that you want to preserve? Is there a person in your neighborhood that gives it a special spark that you want people to know about? We’ll show you how to shape your story for panel-to-panel storytelling. During the 5-week course we will aim to complete a rough draft of an 8-24 page comics script.

All experience levels are welcome!
