Our process

01

Below is an example showing how we shaped a story from a rough, personal draft to an edited narrative, to a finished graphic story. We hope you will consider sharing yours.

02

The edited story

We work together with you to shape the story into something that will best highlight the feeling and intention behind the story, and that will be consistent with the other stories in our book. At right is an example of a story excerpt that we have worked with the author to shape.

03

The rogh rough draft

Our authors share a story with us. It doesn’t have to be perfect — at right is an example of an unedited original as submitted.

The finished story in graphic novel style

Once finalized, artist John Klossner will transform your story into a beautifully illustrated graphic narrative. At right is an excerpt of the finished story in graphic novel form.

We are documenting our process: people we meet along the way, inspiration behind stories folks share with us, and how stories start to take shape into the illustrated wonders that will be printed in our final book. Take a peek into our working process below.
