    Are you comics curious? What can graphic novels do and why would you want to create one?
    
    In this webinar, Maureen Burdock, PhD, award-winning graphic novelist and comics coach, will demonstrate some of the amazing things you can do with this popular hybrid form. You’ll see examples from various genres, including graphic memoir, graphic medicine, graphic histories…even graphic estate planning! This webinar will leave you with valuable insights and resources for planning, actualizing, and publishing your graphic novel.
    
    Presenter:
    Maureen Burdock
    
    Maureen Burdock, MFA, PhD, is the author and illustrator of three (two published and one forthcoming) graphic novels and numerous shorter comics contained in anthologies, including the opening entry in Eisner-Award-winning Menopause: A Comic Treatment. Burdock has also published a number of scholarly essays on comics, trauma, and memory. She was born in the Black Forest, Germany, and grew up on a steady diet of fairy tales and children’s books. She moved to the Chicago area with her mother after first grade. She learned English quickly by challenging herself to read all of the children’s books on the shelves of her local public library. Burdock won her first prize for an illustrated short story about two hot dogs who bravely escape from a frying pan…only to be carried off by a stray dog! The award included a personal meeting with a published children’s book author. Burdock knew then that her destiny was to become a writer and illustrator. She lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with her wife and boxer dog.
