This is Comic Book Writers on Writing, where I sit and talk to creators about the process of writing comics — from first putting pen to paper, to pitching, to marketing, and everything in between. (The audio for this podcast was taken from the full video interview on YouTube which can be found on the Writing Comics channel HERE).
This episode is all about contracts!
I sat with Comic Book Attorney and Business Consultant, Gamal Hennessy, and asked as many contract related questions that I could squeeze into 45 minutes.
If you're making comics, you're eventually going to deal with contracts. It's not something I've ever enjoyed, and nobody prepared me for it, but it's a very important part of the business.
This entire episode is a MUST LISTEN TO for new & old comic book creators alike. Gamal gave incredibly detailed responses to every last one of them, citing examples along the way. He's a professional who does this for a living and has done so for years! If you're ever in need of a lawyer to create or review your contracts, or consultation in any way related to the business of making comics, check out the links below that can get you in touch with Gamal. This includes the Facebook Group where he and others share all sorts of advice, news, and more.
