On her quest to turn that story into a comic book, Emily meets three helpful mentors who share their knowledge. Trudy, a high school student who works at the local comics shop, teaches Emily how to create expressive characters and how art can convey action and suspense. Madeline, a self-published manga artist, teaches Emily how to use panel composition and layout to visually tell a story and develop a comic from script to sketch to finished pages. Finally, Sophie, a professional graphic novelist, guides Emily through fine-tuning the details of dialogue, sequence, and pacing to lead readers through the story.

Each lesson builds on the previous one, guiding you through planning and creating your comic, with accompanying exercises you can try for yourself.
