Attend Splat! The Graphic Novel Symposium -- Free!

I heard the other day about a event coming up that sounds really interesting -- Splat! A Graphic Novel Symposium will be held Saturday, March 15 in New York.

Apparently this is a day-long seminar for graphic novel afficionados and aspiring graphic novelists. The workshops sound great -- from basic storytelling, to more intensive writing topics like Comic Deconstruction and Place in the Graphic Novel. Guests include a whole bunch of indie graphic novelists, Scott McCloud, Brian Wood, and Marvel Submissions Editor CB Cebulski.

I'm thrilled to hear about this workshop -- just another way that graphic novels and trade paperbacks are starting to move in to the mainstream. If you're in the New York area, I strongly encourage you to support this event.

BUT WAIT ...

Collected Editions is giving away one free pass to Splat! That's a $125 value for one lucky Collected Editions reader ... absolutely free! All you have to do is send an email to the Collected Editions email address (listed in the About Me section of our sidebar) with the subject "Splat!" between now and Thursday, March 6 at noon EST, and we'll choose a random winner to be announced on Friday. It's that simple!

Pass it on ... somebody's going to Splat! The Graphic Novel Symposium!
