Join Wren James in an interactive drawing workshop as they discuss the process of creating their debut graphic novel, The Victors: a funny and uplifting take on the ‘chosen one’ hero saviour trope.
They will talk about creating an illustrated novel in collaboration with the artist Beth Fuller, and give a crash course in visual storytelling, from comic book scripts to their work in a TV writer’s room on Netflix’s Heartstopper.
