Graphic Novel Builder Signing and Workshop With Edward Ross

Oh boy do we have something special lined up! Edward Ross (Filmish, Gamish) has released his latest book Graphic Novel Builder: The Illustrated Guide to Making Your Own Comics published by Harper Collins and with an introduction from Alice Osman (Heartstopper) and to celebrate we thought we’d host a workshop with Edward for kids on Saturday 12th October 2024, from 11am-1pm. No need to book, but there will be limited spaces, so just turn up and join in on a first come first served basis! All materials will be provided and Edward will be happy to sign copies of the book as well!

Here’s what publishers Collins have to say about the book:

"A comic book...about making comic books!

The perfect gift for budding artists and aspiring storytellers. Written and illustrated by comic artist Edward Ross with an introduction by Alice Oseman, creator of the best-selling Heartstopper series.

“The book you’re about to read is something I would have read and reread obsessively as a young artist” – Alice Oseman

Meet the Graphic Novel Builders, a group of big-dreaming teens who set out to write, design and draw their own comic books. There’s Ash the Publisher, Jay the Writer, Finn the Designer, Rayah the Artist, Sam the Colourist…and Peanut the Pup!
