IMPORTANT NOTE: This presentation on this page, and all of the recommended resources, are now more than six years old and haven’t been updated. Some things (like the Xeric Grant) don’t even exist anymore. So take everything here with a grain of salt!
This is a list of recommended books and websites from my Presentation “Self-Publishing a Graphic Novel (in Eight Hard Steps)”.
