We love pro stories!
Basically, we just love to hear your stories, and SEE your process.
Show us/tell us where you started? What was your first comic? What inspired you?
What project did you do next? And after that? How was it? Show us your process? Tell us your stories about making, publishing, or marketing.
What are you working on now?
THANK YOU AND HAVE FUN!!!!!
How prepared do I have to be?
Ideally, we love to see process pics, screen shares, notes, drafts and stuff, but we are flexible.

Logisitics and stuff
We do it on Zoom. We usually do these Tuesdays at 2pm Eastern, but sometimes do 8 pm Eastern.
We like it to be 60-90 minutes total. It pays $200.
Tom or another SAW person will host send you a link.
It's great if you can show images of your work, but we can manage if you don't. Even just walking through your website might work.
These will be archived publicly on Youtube as well, and excerpts might wind up on TikTok or Instagram reels or something.
Thanks!

They will be put our YouTube channel as a sort of SAW video podcast (we'll send you the link!) but we also might put a snippet them on TikTok or whatever comes next, or possibly edit them into a small series of advice snippets for our students or something.
So this acknowledges that while you own the copyright of course, of the material, ideas, slides, drawings, etc. That we retain the right to present it again in any free or semi-free (ie, excerpted into a montage of segments as part of a membership) format!
