Graphic novels

by Donald Shaw
17th January 2012

I publushed my first novel, The 13th Doorway a few days ago and it has sold on kindle very well. Over 1000 downloads so far. However, I am really keen to expand into producing a graphic novel of the story and feel the content is ideal for this. Does anyone have any tips on how to start this process as the whole genre is alien to me? Anyone know any good companies? I can probably get the illustrations done for nothing but after that, am clueless! :)

PS I do actually know how to spell published.

I haven't yet, Simon, mostly because I dont know where to start. I feel I should maybe prepare a couple of chapters but I would like advice on which publishers are best. Thanks for your feedback :)

Have you contacted any writers/publishers of graphic novels? I think they would like the fact you are already published so that would go in your favour perhaps.
