Words in Pictures: A Comic and Graphic Novel Project 2025
Ends on
Write Rhode Island's Words in Pictures: A Comic and Graphic Novel Project
Submission Period: February 15 – April 15, 2025
This isn’t a contest—though there are prizes! Three selected creators will get the incredible opportunity to meet a professional author and illustrator for an exclusive, one-hour discussion about their creative process, the art of storytelling, and the world of comics and graphic novels. It's your chance to ask questions, learn, and connect with experts in the field.
Selected works will be featured in a print anthology distributed throughout Rhode Island.
Selected works will be featured in a group show at An Unlikely Story and will also travel to libraries across the state for public exhibition.
Start creating and share your vision with the world!
