WONDERCON: How to Get News Coverage

Small press publishers: What makes the difference between an item that will get news coverage, previews, and interviews and what doesn’t? A lot of publishers have no idea what to submit to the press, how to submit it, or why they are being overlooked for coverage.

Panelists include (in alphabetical order) Chris Arrant (Newsarama), Peter Breau (Second Sight Publishing), Tim Chizmar (First Comics News, Fangoria), Jason LiVecchi (NBC News), Alex Raymond (Monstar, Hollywood Gone Geek), Francis Sky (First Comics News), and Josh Waldrop (Red Gorilla Comics). Find out what it takes to self-promote and make a significant impact on your ability to sell your comic.
