WONDERCON: HOW TO GET NEWS COVERAGE

How do some small press publishers land news coverage, previews, and interviews, while others are overlooked?

Many publishers don’t know what journalists are looking for, how to submit their projects properly, or why their work never gets picked up by the press.

Comics journalist Rik Offenberger (First Comics News, Archie Comics) moderates this panel as working comics journalists explain exactly what they look for in submissions.

Panelists include (in alphabetical order):

Tim Chizmar (Fangoria, Co-Chair of the Horror Writers Association), Jaesa Evermore (Temple of Geek, First Comics News), Ray MacKay (Fantastic Comic Fan), Grant Offenberger (Grant Me Peace), Alex Raymond (Hollywood Gone Geek), Francis Sky (First Comics News), Chris Squires (iHeartMedia), Josh Waldrop (Ultima Media).

Find out how to self-promote effectively and increase your chances of getting meaningful press coverage, and selling more comics.
