Join graphic novelists and MSU faculty members, Jennifer Murvin and Cole Closser,
in a free workshop on the art and craft of graphic narrative! This workshop will engage
writers in exploring both the art and writing of graphic narrative texts, ranging
from the comic book to the graphic novel. Registered participants will be provided
materials for the workshop, but anyone is encouraged to bring supplies as they wish.
MSU Art & Design Asst. Professor Cole Closser is the author of two graphic novels, Little Tommy Lost and Black Rat. MSU English Asst. Professor Jennifer Murvin publishes shorter pieces of graphic narrative and beyond. She also owns any local booklover’s favorite haunt: Pagination Bookshop.
