Here’s what I’ll be talking about on Friday at @PassmoreEdwards as part of the Pen & Ink #comics & book art festival (tickets here bit.ly/penandinkconve… - it’s “pay what you can” for most sessions):🧵 Talk by Myfanwy Tristram- h...
First, the @DrawLineComics story. How 100+ artists from around the world came together because of a single frustrated Facebook post I made. Hardback copies of Draw the...
How we managed that project and got the books out, not only without spending money, but in fact making a profit that went to charity!
And a sample of the many ways to change the world that are contained within the 100+ Draw the Line #comics.
(With added bonus of how it did eventually become a published book with the marvellous @streetnoisebook!) Cover of Draw the Line in p...
Then, how the #inktober challenge led me to make a book about #protest. Cover of Sorry For The Inco...
Again, not a book that anyone asked me to make, so how do I get it in front of audiences? All will be revealed ;)
The protest book (as I call it; never give your books stupid long names…) also hopes to change hearts and minds a bit with an examination of where protest sits within a democratic society… oh and lots of nice pictures.

I’m a big believer that in life, and especially in comics, when you put things out there, good things happen. Not always immediately, but in time. And with the protest book, what happened was that the truly incredible @wood4tt got in touch and invited me to have an exhibition. Poster for Word on the Stre...
While I was in Wales, I met so many interesting people with memories of protest that I determined to make my next comic which would tell their stories. The Noisy Valley by Myfanwy...
And I’ll be talking a lot more about my methods, hopes and plans for that.
So if any of that sounds interesting, and you’re able to get to #NewtonAbbot in #Devon this Friday, I hope you’ll come and see me talk! All my #comics will also be on sale on the Saturday. Talk by Myfanwy Tristram - ...

I've been looking at a lot of #comics/GN publishers' submission pages recently and one thing they nearly all have in common is a lack of information about what I, as a creator, might expect from a partnership.
Why would I favour x publisher over y publisher? What do they offer in terms of marketing, events, coverage? These differ greatly from publisher to publisher so wouldn't it make sense to be a bit more explicit?
Both as a story teller and in my main job as a writer of copy, one of my most important skills is to put myself in the position of a reader: what do they not know, and how can I convey it clearly? Publishers could do with a bit of that too!
