Groups are the backbone of the Loft. You don't even have to be a member to join. 

We have crit groups, reading groups, and productivity groups that meet virtually. 

And if you don't see a group that matches your genre or what you need, we'll create one, just put a note in the free group chat "looking for a new group!"

New Workshop: The Nitty-Gritty of Graphic Novels with editor Alison Weiss! 

The Nitty-Gritty of Graphic Novels with editor Alison Weiss

From character development and pre-writing through choices about scripting, thumbnailing, and paneling, this workshop for both authors and illustrators (and author/illustrators) will dive in detail into each step of the process of developing a graphic novel for the children’s/YA market. We’ll also delve into some discussion of business decisions and questions you should be asking along the way. Please bring writing and/or sketching supplies, as we’ll engage in some activities to get the creative juices flowing. Time will be reserved for questions and answers during the session.
