Alt-BrightonDetails about the project
 QueenSpark is delighted to officially launch Alt-Brighton, a collaborative graphic novel project funded by Arts Council England.CLICK HERE FOR SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Inspired by Alice in Sunderland, a graphic novel by Bryan Talbot - who is an adviser on the project - QueenSpark will train and support volunteer novelists and graphic designers to use the history of Brighton & Hove as the launching pad for the first novel of its kind in the UK. The writers will be mentored by co-founder of the Comic Book Alliance, Tim Pilcher (shown here). A designer to lead the book's team of graphic designers will be appointed in Spring 2012. In the meantime, click here for information about how to become one of the writers. If you are inspired by the project, why not submit a short story or idea from 100 to 2000 words, based around the history of Brighton & Hove, on to the 'New Writing' section of the QueenSpark website, by 28 February 2012 www.queensparkbooks.org.uk? (Please note: you will have to register as a new user, and your submission will be able to be read and commented on by members of the public.) If you need a starting-point, why not use the text and/or images at www.mybrightonandhove.org.uk, www.photosbrightonandhove.org.uk, or www.letterintheattic.org to inspire an idea? |
