Plan on an afternoon of exploration and enlightenment as we uncover the power of personal narrative in graphic novels. Join us for this special Ann Arbor Comic Arts Festival (A2CAF) pre-conference for librarians, educators, and cartoonists! Get ready for the fun events at A2CAF by leveling up your comics knowledge and skills with the people who care about the medium as much as you do!

How do comics creators discover what kind of comics they want to make? Who their audience is? Which stories inspire them? Join A2CAF guests Kazu Kibuishi (Amulet), Victoria Jamieson (When Stars Are Scattered), and John Patrick Green (Investigators) for a rich discussion about the decisions they make when creating graphic novels. Moderated by Meggie Ramm.

Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn from some of the most talented graphic novelists working today. Whether you’re an aspiring artist or simply curious about the creative process, this event is sure to inspire and inform.
