Graphic Novel agent Janna Morishima provided this comprehensive Q&A on the topic. She also offered details on how to (& why you should) join Kids Comics Studio.
KidLitGN asked me to write a blog article about something helpful for graphic novelists. I asked in Kids Comics Unitewhat topic people most wanted me to write about, and got a bunch of great responses. This made me realize that instead of focusing on a single topic, I should structure my article as a Q&A. That way I can answer ALL the questions!!
Without further ado, below are some burning questions from writers and artists, and my answers to them. (Keep in mind that these are my personal responses – other agents might answer differently!)
“How does a graphic novel creator find agents after building their platform/readers? What is the standard agent’s fee? Are agents also experts in the legal side of the business? How long does an agent-creator relationship typically last?”
