I'm sure people ask you this a lot, but I'm a little curious. For an aspiring writer, what is the best format to publish a creator owned project that is not a series? A one short or graphic novel? What is the average page/word count for both? Should a crea

If someone had told the person who made the Wimpy Kid books what the most likely-to-succeed comics format should be, odds are it wouldn't have sold millions of copies.

I believe a shorter work is probably a smart way to start, find out what your capabilities, strengths and weaknesses are. But if you have a vision and you feel confident that you can accomplish it, by all means, go longer. Beware of scope creep, don't let it get away from you. An average DC ogn runs from 90-120 pages or so, but don't let that dictate anything.

Finding an agent, I don't know, I haven't seen the need for one yet and I get solicited for them all the time. Find your voice, do the work, and let that worry come later in the process.

As for editorships and internships, I'm sorry, I really don't know anything about it except that the odds of being chosen are almost nil if you can't relocate to where the publishers are.

Best of luck, sorry I can't help more!
