Hey there, The Beat will officially be appearing on Saturday at WonderCon on this panel:
1:30-2:30 How to Get News Coverage— Small press publishers, what makes the difference between an item that will get news coverage, previews, and interviews and an item that doesn’t? A lot of publishers have no idea what to submit to the press, how to submit it, and why they are being overlooked for coverage. Comics journalist Rik Offenberger (First Comics News, Archie Comics) moderates this panel on just what it takes to get coverage, with the comics journalist themselves telling you what they are looking for in your submission. Panelists include Alan Kistler (Comic Mix, Newsarama), Heidi MacDonald (The Beat), Kiel Phegley (Comic Book Resources), and Josh Waldrop (M1W Entertainment). Find out what it takes to self-promote and make a significant impact on your ability to sell your comics project. Room 208
We’ve done these panels before and they are loads of fun. Hopefully the people in the audience will think so!
Other than that, well be wandering amongst the people, so save up some news for us. Don’t be shy about saying hello, as always.
This one’s for you, Heidi:
Well, there’s another reason to hope that the rain won’t be as terrifying as the news says. If it’s not, I’ll be there, and will say hi. :0)
