Bmore Into Comics 2017 Schedule!
Hi everyone!
We've just released the 2017 events schedule, and this year we're trying a little something different (and by "different" we mean "hopefully more organized ahead of time"). We're sending out the schedule for the year ahead of time, so you can mix and match and plan accordingly. If you can't make one, nbd, you can probably make another one!
Here it is:
Issue #12 - February 18th, 1 - 7:00pm, The Windup Space
Issue #13 - April 15th (Tax Day PARTY!), 1 - 7:00pm, The Windup Space
Issue #14 - July 15th, 1 - 7:00pm, The Windup Space
Issue #15 - August 19th, 1 - 7:00pm, The Windup Space
Issue #16 - December 16th, 1 - 7:00pm, The Windup Space
We have also realized that we have a bit of a cap at The Windup Space, so if you don't get in to one of these events, it could be because we just have too many wonderful comics creators (which is an AWESOME problem to have).
Anyhoo, if you're interested in exhibiting, send us your website with samples of your comics work - our main requirement here at Bmore is that you can show/sell various things at your table, as long as comics are a part of them! (this includes webcomics, too - including postcards pointing peeps to your website, showing samples of what's online, etc - totally cool!). Also, these events take place in Baltimore, MD, so make sure you can get here!
Send us an email ([email protected]) with your name, website, and dates interested and we'll be in touch!
Thanks!
Monica, Kata, & Jon

The man behind Big Bang Comics in Dublin shares insight into how you, a creator, can better sell your work
In this creator-owned era, getting people to actually support and buy your comics can be a difficult task. Many budding and even veteran creators struggle to get their work seen and read. It’s one of the biggest obstacles in the entire industry. And when it’s your own book being released without a PR/marketing department behind it, the struggle can be even more real.
Tips on how to get your comics in the hands of Retailers!
The 1001 KNIGHTS ANTHOLOGY KICKSTARTER is LIVE !!!
1001 Knights is a massive 3-volume anthology project focusing on creating people-positive characters with feminist overtones. Over the course of 3 volumes, 250+ artists explore themes about what it means to be a knight and what makes for a strong character through illustration, comics, poetry, and prose. The artists involved have worked long and hard to create meaningful art that will uplift and inspire readers. 1,001 knights will be represented between all 3 volumes, including fictional characters and the contributing artists. In order to make this the coolest and most epic anthology we can dream of, we need your help! All money raised will go towards making the book and compensating the participating artists. 1001 Knights is created & curated by Annie Stoll & Kevin Jay Stanton.

11 Tips For Promoting Your Comic Book To The Mainstream Media
Increasingly, the job of a comics PR professional (and if you are self-pubbing your comic, congratulations you are now also a comics PR professional) includes pitching potential news stories to the mainstream online media. In a number of ways, this process differs from pitching to comic book-specific websites.
The following are some tips for comics publicists interested in getting more of their stories picked up on sites big and small which are not part of the comics media “niche.” I’ve worked as an editor for a mainstream site which occasionally ran some comic-related stories, so here’s my observations:
