Sensory: Life on the Spectrum FULL PITCH
Added 2021-04-08 14:49:21 +0000 UTCWow OK so I have an exciting development! As I think most of you already know by now, for the last month and a bit, I've been working really hard on organising a huge collab of autistic artists making autistic comics. The plan thus far has been to post the comics online under the tag #ASDComicTakeover and we've been planning to launch a Kickstarter campaign for the printed book on the 19th April...
However!!
Two days ago, my agent contacted me to let me know that a publisher has expressed interest in picking up our book!! So it looks like we uh, might not end up kickstarting it after all if this goes well!!
The publisher asked to see a proposal for the project and our plan is to send it around and see if any other pubs are interested in case this particular publishing house doesn't work out, but all of this is INCREDIBLY EXCITING aaaa!
So I managed to put together an entire pitch yesterday which is like ??? where did this power come from????
I've attached it to this post because I figured a few of you might be interested to see what a graphic novel pitch looks like (although the format is slightly different because A) most of the artwork is done and B) it's an anthology). Enjoy!!

Congratulations! That sounds amazing. And thank you for sharing the pitch--I really had no idea what one would look like. I was especially surprised to see people's supportive DMs about how the comics have helped them included in the pitch. Maybe I should be writing more fan mail to people if it's that helpful! I mean I know it must be a confidence booster and that may be the most important aspect in the grand scheme of things, but I didn't think of it being so concretely helpful.
2021-04-11 11:59:28 +0000 UTCwow, that looks amazing! I really do hope that, should they pick it up, they'll allow you to retain your creative control over the project having a proper publisher on-board would be amazing for stuff like distribution and marketing If, for whatever reason, it ended up falling through, would it be worth considering using unbound for the project rather than kickstarter? They seem to have the resources and what-not that a regular publisher has, but it's still crowdfunded like Kickstarter. I've backed a few books from them, and the authors have always had nothing but good things to say about them
