Title Page
Overview
Start with a short one or two sentence pitch of the overall concept (sometimes referred to as an “elevator pitch”). After that, move on to a longer description of
what the story is about. Model this off of the back cover copy on
published books—you don’t want to give away everything about the plot
here, just provide a description that makes people want to read the
pages.

Sample Pages
Sample Script
Aim for 50 comic pages, the script broken into panels for each page. We want to imagine the story in the way it will appear in the printed book.
Synopsis
The final section is a synopsis: an outline of the entire story. Your synopsis should be written in paragraph form (not bullet points), and it is usually 1-3 pages long. Tell us what happens in the book! This is so important when there isn’t a full script to evaluate. We need to know where the story is going and how it’s going to get there. This is the place where you can spoil the ending. If a plot point is missing in the synopsis, then we’re simply not going to know about it.
