Why You Should Join Comics Flow + Publish for Pro-Calls
We’re thrilled to host this upcoming Pro-Call.
If you’ve never been to a SAW Pro-Call before, here’s the deal: every month, we bring in working professionals from across the comics and publishing world to share their stories, answer your questions, and offer insight into making a sustainable, expressive life in comics. Past guests include folks like Kim Krans, Jamar Nicholas, Matt Madden, Sophie Yanow, Wendy Pini, and so many more.
These sessions are real, relaxed, and rooted in lived experience. But here’s the thing… you could be accessing these calls EVERY MONTH as part of a comics practice support group that’s built to keep you drawing, publishing your work, and connected to a creative community.
