How to Nail Your Pitch with Writer Ryan K Lindsay

Over the past several years, Ryan K Lindsay has heard the word “yes” from Black Mask, IDW, Dark Horse, DC, ComixTribe and many more. On this special session of the ComixLaunch Podcast, Tyler picks Ryan’s brain on how he’s managed to perfect his pitching process to attract the interest of artists, editors and fans.

Ryan’s process for determining what projects he’ll pitch around to publishers and what projects he’ll self-publish?
How to make your pitch stand out above the standard slush pile submissions.
Hope for creators who don’t live in the comic book meccas of New York or LA and can’t attend every convention, yet still want to get pitches accepted.
How geeking out on D&D lately is making Ryan a better writer?
Plus: Don’t Miss out on Break Kickstarter Month!

Today’s Featured Guest:

Ryan is a comic book writer and educator, and over the past several years, he’s accumulated more publishing credits that we have time to cover.

His work has been published by Black Mask, MonkeyBrain, IDW, Dark Horse, Vertigo and ComixTribe to name a few.

He was selected as a participant in the highly coveted DC Writing Workshop group of 2016, learning advanced comic writing from Scott Snyder.

He’s also self-published several Kickstarter-funded titles under his own Four Colour Ray Gun imprint, with a focus on digital-only campaigns for books such as DEER EDITOR, EIR, INK ISLAND and STAIN THE SEAS SCARLET.

Always one to heap massive praise on his artist partners and collaborators, Ryan has worked with artists including Eric Zawadzki, Sebastian Piriz, Sami Kivela, Owen Gieni, Tommy Lee, Edwards, Alex Cormack and more…

He is an extreme process junkie and writes one of the most thoughtful weekly newletters in comics called “The Two Fisted Homeopape” https://tinyletter.com/ryanklindsay
