About
Tiffany Yap and Meital Smith will detail their collaborative process and share tips and tricks from their experiences writing and illustrating their graphic novel "Tales of the Urban Wild: A Puma's Journey," described as a "beautifully illustrated novel with an urgent message about the survival of pumas and wildlife."
You'll split into two groups — writers and illustrators — where you can either brainstorm ideas and get started on a script with guidance from Tiffany, or turn a manuscript into a real illustrated graphic novel page with Meital.
You should leave this class with, at the very least, an idea for a graphic novel. More advanced students could leave with a full outline or a completely inked page.

- Writers should bring a notebook and pencil or computer.
